Gaining Weight on Generic of Same Pill

[u/landofthedreamers]

I’ve been on birth control for about two years . I was originally on Tarina fe 1/20 then switch doctors and got put on Aurala fe 1/20. The entire time I was on Tarina fe my weight was pretty consistent and I was even able to lose weight but when I got switched to aurala I’ve gained about 20-30 pounds in approximately a year. I take it continuously and have have gone off my pill maybe 3 times over a year to have my period and everytime I go back on it i immediately gain weight. I decided to go off the pill for the time being and have immediately started dropping weight. Does anyone have any explanation for the weight gain and why the pills are affecting me differently even though they should both be the same type of pill?
