Birth Control
"I took Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for a year and gained 15 lbs on my 5&#039;1 normally 105 frame. I am 19 and run 50-70 miles a week for track and cross country. I knew there was something wrong, as before I would lose up to 10 lbs during the season. I told my doctor I thought the weight gain was due to the pills, but she insisted it wasn&#039;t. As soon as I got off of OTCL, (became single and didn&#039;t need it) I lost those 15 lbs in 3 weeks and shocked my doctor. The pill definitely can, and was, the reason for weight gain. At least I never became pregnant. I have switched to Apri since and I hope I don&#039;t go through the same again, anyone have any stories about their experiences with Apri?"
