You bet it can, and you're right thinking
that the bc pill is the culprit. Which
brand are you using?
Ortho-tricyclen, ortho novum 1/35, and
cyclessa are all known to put on weight..
Usually around 10-15lb.. Although side
effects vary, some girls break out in
acne, some have stomach pains, and some
suffer no problems at all. Otc
(ortho-tricyclen) is also known for making
a considerable increase in breast size,
much of time without an increase in weight
anywhere else in the body.
Nuvaring has the lowest hormone levels, so
you suffer less side effects and less
weight gain as a result.
Also note that ovcon actually markets
their product as being able to keep weight
gain under control, and many women have
confirmed they have gained little to no
weight on ovcon.
My recommendation: if you'd like to
increase your cup size a bit, try out otc
and see how your body reacts. If you
find you're gaining unwanted weight
elsewhere then after your cycle is done,
you can try switching to nuvaring or
ovcon.
I hope this helps,
justin

By the way, you will likely get more
responses to this if it was posted in the
"birth control" forum, instead of the
"fitness" forum.
