Hi
Weight changes and engorged or tender breast can occur as a side effect of loestrin and other hormonal pills.Generally weight gain occurs rather than weight loss.You can use newer contraceptives such as desogesterol and watch for the pattern of any side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
