Trya different pill: A few ideas. You may want to try a different birth control pill that doesn't have those side effects. You may also want to try a calorie tracker app like, my fitness pal. Birth control pills don't cause women to gain weight, however, sometimes women's appetites increase on the pill and they eat more. Tracking your calories can be a way to determine if taking too many calories.
