hi,
yes weight gain is a common problem with almost all oral contraceptive pills(ocp)
are you obese?
use of ocp helps to regularise periods by withdrawl bleeding may not be
by ovulation
pcos ,weight gain is a viscious cycle ,you gain weight develop pcos and develop pcos and gain weight
so go for good diet and exercise,which may reverse your pcos and you dont put on that extra pounds due to medicaton.
go for diane ,its ok
thank you
