[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Cellulite has nothing to do with birth control and everything to do with your skin losing elasticity and showing fat more. Want to reduce the appearance of cellulite- quit running and do weight lifting. Adding muscle will hide cellulite. Running is doing nothing to firm up your fat which is what cellulite is. [/quote]

Agree.  I'm 48 with very, very little cellulite.  I still don't have any on back of my legs---just a tiny bit near butt as I've aged.  I've been on the Pill for decades.

I am thinking you should do a full thyroid panel.  I had spotting around 41 like you non-stop.  I had everything checked, TSH thyroid level was normal.  I had pelvic ultrasound, etc.  They just said it was perimenopause.  I was not satisfied and demanded my GP run the full thyroid panel (regular physical just tests for TSH).  Low and behold---I was right.  I had anti-thyroid antibodies which indicated I have Hashimoto's.  Hashimoto's causes all those symptoms--inability to lose weight/weight gain, irregular periods/spotting--even depression, high cholesterol, melasma, lethargy/tiredness.  [/quote]
