A member asked:
Does switching birthcontrols cause acne until your body adjusts to new hormone levels? i switched from lo loestrin fe to mircette (ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel). and weight gain?

Not likely: You changed brands and slightly increased the dose. Birth control pills usually improve acne and they are not related to weight gain.
