Hey.. I gained weight on one pill...
switched to a low estrogen pill and lost about 10 pounds. However i'm pretty sure that the older you are (not that you're old at all but I think that 35 is considered old in birthcontrol terms) the more estrogen you need in your pill to make it work.
I know that when I switched pills the doctor said I was young and didn't need that much estrogen, but as you get older you need more. I'm not sure why though?!?!

The first time I tried the pill I joked that it worked TOO well: 1. I gained weight so I didn't feel attractive. 2. They played havoc on my emotions so I was completely bitchy. 3. My sex drive went down the toilet.
Of course, I was joking way AFTER I got off this brand and I had stopped crying every 10 minutes!
Hope you have much better luck than I did!

but I do that know that a HUGE percentage of women who go on any form of the pill will gain weight because of the hormones, etc. Damn things. --Steph

It hasn't changed my emotions or sex drive. Just the weight gain. If the other two happen, I will gte off the pill. No way!

I'm not 35 yet but I wonder if the estrogen level has an effect.
