[quote=Anonymous]Previous comments about the pill causing water retention and mimicking pregnancy are spot on. I went on birth control pills last summer at the age of 29. Shortly after starting, I noticed cellulite on the back of my thighs. I am petite (5'0" and 100 lbs) and active, so it is not a weight/fat thing in my case. I highly recommend looking into Fertility Awareness Based Methods (FAMs or FABMs): Sympto-Thermal, Creighton Model, Billings Ovulation Method, Marquette Model, etc. I recently went off hormonal birth control for a host of reasons (numerous bad side effects, and learning how bad they are for our bodies!), and it is so freeing and empowering to work WITH our bodies and hormones rather than against them! Fingers-crossed that it helps the cellulite go away too! Although I am feeling much healthier overall, I don't realistically expect the cellulite to go away or lessen as quickly as it came. Hoping to see improvement little by little. [/quote]
