Water retention: Many birth control options can cause water retention. Even women who do not take contraception can note weight gain ( water weight) at time of menses. If your hands feel " tight" when you make a fist, if your face appears "puffy" , if your shoes feel tight-examples of water renting. PLEASE check with your doctor regarding your kidney function and avoid salty foods
