Pill inhibiting weight loss?
Could using the pill (obviously as contraception) cause weight gain / inhibit weight loss because your body won' t be producing testosterone while you' re on the pill\?
GynaeDoc
Some women gain a bit of weight and some lose a bit of weight on the Pill and many have no effect on weight. This is largely due to fluid retention and eating patterns.
