Dear Reader
I think that you need to discuss this with your gynae. Use of hormonal contraceptives can cause a variety of side-effects such as weight gain or loss, acne, blood clots in the legs, potential increase in the risk of uterus cancer, mood changes, water retention, etc, etc. It all depends on the patient and her special characteristics, which is why you need to ask your dr who is aquainted with your circumstances.
