Contraception & Cellulite!!!

So I was aware there is a correlation. But now I am convinced.

Whenever I am on the hormonal contraception (usually a good few years at a time) I have significant cellulite.

Whenever I come off the contraception, e.t.c my cellulite vanishes within 6-12 months

I also notice I have terrible, terrible acne on my back (but only ever when I am on hormonal contraception!)

Has anyone else noticed this?
DH suggests having a vasectomy, but this seems so final...I have considered the copper coil, but I am not sure I am a suitable candidate for it.

I have bad cellulite although very slim. I wonder if it is the pill. Would never have though there was some sort of link?!

I am also slim (size 8). I bet you it is 😱@greaserizzo

I'm planning to have the coil removed.
Last time I stopped the pill, my cellulite just magically vanished.

Oh I wish it was that easy! I’ve started dry brushing and looking for professional treatments to help smooth it out before the summer. I so wish I had the confidence to get my legs out but I just don’t :(
