    Yea no shit I gained like 20lbs in 2 months on that shit. I'm on ortho cyclen and have no problems with weight gain or hormonal rages or any other weird stuff.

    Maybe try NuvaRing if you don't want pills? I didn't gain weight when I was on it, but I did have problems with it staying in place though. You might want to give it a try anyway.

    I'm on Desogen now and my Depo weight is finally coming off. But the gain happened overnight and the loss is taking forever. Good luck.

    Well, my fave is mirena. But you can only get that if you already have a child. But I would suggest the patch, or something the places less hormones in your system.
