I carried an extra 5kg when I was taking the pill. Once I stopped the extra weight fell off. I won't take the pill again. I feel it screwed up my hormones and was a contributing factor in my endometriosis. I felt soooo much better off the pill.

Nadine you are right about the water. The more you drink, the more efficiently your body processes it. The less you drink the more your body retains it.
