I meant to ask that during the period of having Novelon would i continue gaining weight or this weight gain is for initial few days and will be gone as my body gets accustomed to it?

Brief Answer: AS BELOW Detailed Answer: Most side effects settle down in 2 - 3 weeks' time. Once your body adjusts to the hormonal effects, you will feel more normal. Novelon is a low dose pill, so I think that if you continue the pack for a month or so,your body will get accustomed to it. Take care.
