Does anyone know if the birth pill Ortho Novum or anything else causes weight gain?

Question: I was just wondering if anybody has experienced weight gain from taking Ortho Novum, or any other birth control!? Is it a myth or not?

Answers:
It's a myth that they will directly make you gain weight, but they WILL make your appetite spike like a mthrfckr. I weighed 114 when I started BC a year ago, and I'm struggling just to get back down to 125 now. It's controlable if you have the determination, but usually, your body wins the battle. The best way to combat it is with exercise. Now's a good a time as ever to tone up anyway. :)
