Ortho Tri-Cyclen caused about a 15 pound weight gain. When I switched to Alesse, it went away. OTC had a number of other nasty side effects for me, as well. I think it is a your mileage may vary thing, though, since some people swear by the same pill that made me miserable.

I just started on Ortho-tri-cyclen, I think I have gained weight, i don't know, i feel like i have. I was on Alesse two years ago and didn't gain any weight and then got of the pill and started Alesse again and it messed up my cycle where I ended up getting my period twice a month. I don't know if I like this pill. I don't want to gain weigth right now, I am still trying to adjust to my "treatment" weight gain less than 9 months ago. YIKES =/
