Not really.
Nordette was the first birth control I was put on for the same reason as you. I did not gain weight from it.

I took nordette and gained probably about 5 pounds. Just watch what you are eating and exercise.
Other pills that I took that were similar are Lo-Ovral and Yasmin
Ask your doctor if either of these would help you out.

with all types of birth control pills there is a chance of your weight going up or down. It all depends on your own body.
If you’re worried, ask your doctor if there is another pill you can try, or be sure to exercise regularly and eat healthy.

Absolutely. Nearly every type of birth control contains the side effect of weight gain, however, the gain is relative. Sometimes you will gain and lose before and after menstruation. It’s all in the way your body receives the medication. I do not know very much about Nordette, but I have been on Loestrin for over a year now and one of the side effects is, of course, weight gain. However, I haven’t really gained any weight.
Different medications work different ways. Just give it a couple of months and see how it goes. If it doesn’t work for you, go back to your doctor and try something else.
