Losing weight and bc???
Mon, 11-08-2004 - 10:49pm
I've been on bc for about two months. I've been having sex for about a month now..it's all good!

I have a question though.

I'm on Alesse and I've heard it makes ppl gain weight. The thing is, I'm noticing that slowly, I'm starting to lose weight. I don't eat A LOT and I exercise a lot and I eat pretty healthy foods. I don't have a lot of time to eat so I make sure I get in my breakfast, lunch and dinner and a couple snacks throughout the day.

I also noticed that when I was around 15 lbs (which is a normal weight for my height) I wouldn't get my period..but as I've gained weight in the last year, I get my period fine.

I'm wondering, is it safe to be losing weight on the pill? Also, if I go down to a weight I haven't been at for a couple months, is it likely that my period will stay the same and it'll come every month as it has???

If anyone knows about this, I'd appreciate it a ton.

thanks.

lots of kisses *ash
