Diabetologist 's  Response
Lynoral (ethinyl estradiol) and regestrone (norethisterone) has been associated with weight gain. It is common with women taking these medications. It will come down once you stop or it may come down by itself. Maintain adequate physical activity and avoid sedentary lifestyle. You will be fine; no need to worry too much about weight gain.
