huh. Well, bloating is entirely possible. If you think about it, pms bloating is caused by hormones, and you're basically pumping hormones into your system, so it's a natural conclusion.
one of the problems with hormonal bc is that it really seems to have countless possible side effects.
Just try to drink lots of water and avoid salty foods, and hopefully it will get better.

what type of pill are you taking? i have noticed some of the newer ones like yasmin that have a diuretic effect made my stomach look big/bloated/ like i was 5 months pregnant.

Sometimes they can make you bloated. But your body should normalize back to normal after a little while. If not, tell your doc and ask them to change it. I had to change to Triphasil since my made me bloated. just give it some time.
