Answers:
You could loose weight - a lot of what is retained is mostly water anyhow. Often the body "thinks" that it is pregnant while on the pill, leading to an increase in appetite while taking it. So as long as you maintain a consistent healthy diet and routine exercise, you'll likely shed a few pounds.Health Question & Answer
I don't know if there is a correlation between the two, but if you plan to stop taking birth control, be VERY careful. If you do it too fast, then your menstrual cycle will be screwed up for a while. Consult your doctor or an obstetrician before changing your birth control.Health Question & Answer
