Hello Ma'am,
It depends first and foremost on the individual woman. Indeed, some women will feel like they are retaining water with certain pills, while others will not feel like it at all.
That said, generally speaking, the less hormones the pill contains, the less likely this feeling will occur. Pills like Lolo™ or Micronor™ may therefore be of interest to women who feel like they are retaining water with their pill.
I recommend that you discuss this with your pharmacist, who can contact your doctor to have your pill modified based on your symptoms and current condition.
Good day,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
P.S. Keep in mind that pills with less hormones are not for everyone either. Some women often have "spotting" with these.

P.S. If you are open to the idea of using a copper IUD, that could also be a very good option.
