"the first month i was on it, it went great. no side effects, 1-2 pounds weight gain (i watched my diet to the t so i knew the extra weight was from the pill) but it did not bother me too much. the second month was hell! i gained an extra 10 pounds within week one and mid of week three, i call my gyno and had to have my pill changed because i could not accept the 10 pound weight gain. she has switched me to microgestin fe 1/20 (generic of loestrin 24), so we will see how that works out. i am not starting this new pill until i lose the weight i have gained from tri-sprintec. before being on tri-sprintec i was on yaz and that had not worked well for me either, major bloating!"
