First and foremost, if this topic has been discussed before, don't gnaw my head off, because I did do a search.
And the topic is.... weight gain on birth control.
Now I've tried two kinds of pills, Ovcon 35 and Yazmin (which I am currently on). Both have made me gain 10 pounds. On a gal who is only 5 ft. 1, this shows a lot. I hate it. It feels awful. And it will not go away no matter what I do. I am a runner who averages 3-4 miles a day and I run races fairly often, and I cannot get this fat to go away! I eat healthy with the exception of sweets, which I probably eat too much of, but sweets never had much effect on my weight before. Now I'm like a barrel with arms and legs.

So my question... ladies who have been on either of these and gained weight, is there a way to lose weight while on the pill, or is there a pill you switched to that did not make you gain weight?
Thanks for the advice!
