Defeating the purpose by accomplishing the purpose

I'm not really crazy about how my birth control has a two-prong protection against pregnancy. I'm cool with the first prong, which is the standard hormonal blah blah blah. Not so cool with the second prong, which entails me gaining so much weight that no one wants to sleep with me.

10 pounds in less than a month, dude. Eating just as I have been, without weight gain. I'm heavier than I've ever been in my life, and I don't know what to do. The other side effects of this method are very low or nonexistent, which is wonderful. But the weight gain is not so cool.
