I'm 28 years old and i've recently come off the pill 3 months ago after being on it for almost 10 years! I have noticed some changes to my body and am not sure if its related to stopping the pill. I have noticed that the tissue around my legs and butt area has become very spongy looking. My hypothesis is that since the pill causes water retention, now stopping it has caused my tissues to be drained of the water, causing the fat on my legs and butt to be more noticeable?? I am a fairly thin woman (size 2-4) and weight has never an issue for me. I just don't seem to understand this "spongy-looking" skin and if there is a correlation to stopping the pill. Please help!
