    Not completely on topic, but I started taking birth control pills a couple months ago, and since then I've noticed that while I haven't gotten bigger overall, my stomach has. Is that because of the estrogen, maybe? And has anyone else experienced this?

    @FrabjousDay: the damn pill not only made me gain weight - it killed my libido. Now that's ironic - and it sucks moose dong.

    @sybann: Ugh, that does suck! It hasn't killed my libido, but I think it does make my mood swings a lot worse. :(

    It is all part of estrogen's insidious plan to take over the world.

    Osteoporosis, depression and lack of libido in menopausal and post menopausal women is usually caused by a REDUCTION in the female hormone estrogen. So this doesn’t, on the face of it, appear to make scientific sense.

    @Rare Affinity: It makes sense because our bodies become used to a certain balance of hormones. At least for depression and lack of libido. Testosterone is probably related to the male sex drive and estrogen to the female sex drive.

    Funny, because when I had acne and was pissy all the time, it was because I had too much testosterone.
