 the pill???

i was wondering if any of the women have had problems with weight gain and taking the birth control pill.
i started taking a low dose pill last month and since then i have gained five pounds!!! up until i started taking the pill i had an almost perfect eating record (lol i always stayed in my calorie range and always ate healthy). after i started taking it, i could not CONTROL my chocolate cravings at all!!!! lets just say i had a few too many slices of cake and scoops of ice cream! does anyone have any advice or can anyone relate to this?? i just want to get back on track! :(
thanks!

I know this isn't exactly what you were lookin for, but I was taking Ortho Tricyclen for a while. I didn't gain weight related to the pill, but found it was really hard to LOSE weight while I was on it, and it was seriously messing with my moods too.. so I had the doctor change me to a lower dose, and though the weight doesn't come off as easy as it used to when I wasn't on the pill at all, it definitely comes off a lot better than when I was on the higher dose.

its the hormonal changes and not the pill per se...those hormones are making u eat things like chocy...all u can do is resist these urges as best u can.
