Changes?
Posted: 02-21-06 22:18pm

Of course I know the typcial changes that come along with taking birth control such as weight gain/loss etc.

But has anyones body kind of transformed?
Since taking otclo for only about a week, my stomachs gotten flatter, although my breasts have filled out much more [relaly big c cup now]. I dont understand the stomach flattness haha. Ive been eating more too but the scale hasnt changed, just my boobs.

Has something like that ever happened to you?

Also, I know so manyu people have asked this, but yesterday I was literally 2 hours late taking my pill. Gosh I even had it with me and everything, im so angered with myself. Well I took it immediately and took todays pill normal time as set. Im ok right? As long as I weight about 7 days....
Any guidance appreciated.Thank you!

taking it at the same day helps you to remember it but isn't essential. If on the combined pill then provided you take it within 24hours of your specified time then you are still protected. If you're on the progesteron only pill then you must take it within 3hours of your specified time for it to work (or 12 if on cerazette)

Thats great that your stomach has gotten flatter. I am taking lutera and have lost about 4 pounds. Im 5"4 about 115 natually but im about 112 now. Its not much of a difference but ive been told that it effects everyone differently. Ive been on it for about 8 days now. It doesnt make me more hungry like people say I think its decressing my appitite. Ive gone up about a cup size also which ofcourse my boyfriend has noticed lol but my boobs feel swallon and hurt like crazy! Ive also been a little emotional but not horribly. So far I love this stuff and reccommend it I hope everything stays good for you :)
