Yes, weight gain can be a side effect of any and ALL Birth Control. However, weigth gain is individual. Some will gain weight on the patch, some may not. Same for the pill, shot, etc. If you are experiencing weight gain, try a different form of birth control, often the same type, ie still a patch, but different hormonal make up will not produce weight gain.

I went on it when I was 15, and did not notice anything. I became extreamly moody on it though, depressed. Watch out for that. If you're feeling anxious, depressed and almost bi-polar like mood swings talk to your doctor about switching pills.
