:( Sadness

I just switched birthcontrols from Cyclessa to Yasmin at the beginning of the cycle...like 2 weeks ago. I have also gained 3 pounds. In two weeks. With no change in diet or exercise. Is there any correlation? Help?

But really - you'd notice a weight difference if you just weighed yourself at different times of the day. It's how bodies work. And the distribution of three pounds over a whole adult body is such that it's not even noticeable.

What you might want to do is weigh yourself naked every single morning before eating or drinking anything. If after a long time (like, say, a month or two, to account for menstrual bloating as well) you're still 3 pounds heavier on average, then you can fret about it. Until then, though, it's probably nothing.
