I haven't tried that but I was on the Depo shot and gained 12 pounds. Needless to say I stopped taking it.

I've been on seasonique for 4 years now, and I love it. Due to my extreme anemia, I get to skip the placebos and haven't had a period for 4 years. I haven't gained any weight since I started it either

I think I really wanna try it!

Definitely do. And the important thing is to let your body get used to it. I know I retained a lot of Water around the time that my periods used t be, when I first started taking it. I wasn't closely monitoring my weight back then like I am now, so I can't be sure if I didn't gain a couple pounds at first. So yeah, you might go up a little, but it might just be water weight.

I've been using NuvaRing for 3 years an think it is amazing.

Try sprintec. I was on it for years before my surgery . Then placed on ortho-tri-cyclen lo and it messed my cycle all up after 9 months . I'm back on sprintec again and love it . It's cheap ( no co pay for my insurance ) and it's a low dose one so there's less chance of a weight gain . I've been taking it since January , even through my post op .
