HELP! I switched from the Nuva Ring to OrthoTricyclen Lo and have gained 4 pounds!

Is this normal? Has anyone else gained weight as a post op from switching birth control methods? I am 12 months post op and was using the Nuva-Ring for over a year. Due to terrible cramps, I had my OBGYN switch me back to the Pill. I am taking OrthoTriCyclen LO and have gained 4 lbs since I started taking it. I cannot seem to get those 4 pounds to budge, even with exercise, protein, tons of water, etc. Can someone tell me if this is normal and if I will ever get back on track with losing while taking birth control pills? PLEASE HELP! I am despairate to lose these last 20 pounds!
