    Default Birth Control Pill and f*cking WEIGHT GAIN!!

    I switched from Alesse to Lutera and even though Lutera is the generic form of Alesse, I swear the side effects are wicked. I've had sore breasts for over two weeks and I've gained five pound within that time too. Anyone ever experience negative effects like these from Lutera or any generic form of a birth control pill? Is this all in my mind? If so, when you stopped taking that pill, did the weight just come off? I'm 5'0 and 5lbs on me looks like I gained 10. What a downer. I didn't even eat anything worth gaining weight for.

    I didn't gain weight, but I had a diff weird side effect when I switched from Ortho Tri Cyclene to the gen version- my skin darkened a bit around the outer edges of my eyes, not REAL noticable, but something you'd see if I pointed it out. Tres strange, switched to the brand Lite version now so hopefully they'll go away and I can lay off the concealer.

    I was on a generic bcp, and I went from a size 5 to a size 9/10. I did take the pill for a long time, I didn't like the side effects either, so when my hubby signed up for the military and health insurance was a given I switch to ortho try cyclene, military hates that I am taking it because it is 28 cents per pill for them. But I am now in a size 3! I have also been working out more and trying to eat more healthy. I say if you can switch to ortho tri. GOOD LUCK.
