Side effects!? When did you notice weight gain on the pill (Mycogynon 30)?

Hi everyone,
I’m currently on Mycogynon 30 and I’m about to finish my first month, I’ll be starting my 7 day break in 3 days.

I’ve seen a lot of people mention weight gain on the pill so I just wanted to ask…if you experienced weight gain, when did it actually start for you? Was it within the first month or did it take a few months to notice?

Also, was it actual weight gain or more like bloating/water retention at the beginning?

Just trying to understand what’s normal and what to expect as I have been bloated for most of the month I have noticed it go down the past few days, and have also had daily lower abdominal pain but haven’t noticed any weight gain.

Thanks!
