    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.

    @Lymed: That seems a plausible explanation. Thanks.

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