Hi,
Weight gain is more common with implants and Depo injections than oral contraceptives. Weight gain caused by oral contraceptive drug is mainly due to fluid retention rather than fat accumulation. You can monitor your symptoms for the next few cycles. In case of no other side effects,you can continue the drug.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
