I actually lost a few pounds when I started on Yasmin, which, incidentally, is the only BC that hasn't made me totally crazy, so snaps for Yasmin. I have also been on Alesse (which apparently doesn't work so well if you're not super skinny, I've been told by nurse friends) and Ortho-Tricyclen and neither made me gain weight, but they sure made me moody.

Back in college I was on Triphasil...do they even make that anymore? Jeez.
Then, Ortho TriCyclen, which was decent...

But then I tried Depo. Agggghhhhhh! I went from 128 to 160 overnight. The progesterone made me eat, eat, eat! Well, it didn't make me eat, but it made me feel hungry-- even immediately after I would finish a meal! Disgusting!

So, Depo was bad for me. YMMV.

Switched to Ortho Cyclen after that. Muuuuch better!

i've been on birth control for a long time, since i was 14 in fact (horribly painful periods) and i can agree that Alesse was crap. I've been on ortho-tricyclene, seasonale, and some generics (poor kid here).

so far the shot has made me feel a little more hungry but as my doctor said, the key is to figure out if you are really hungry or if it's just the shot talking. so far i haven't overeaten at all. but if it gets worse i'll opt out of the next shot.

shouldn't side effects like these subside after a while though? i know when i have had trouble with weird side-effects in the past if i just trudge through they tend to go away.
