I'm a BC'er, actually I've used BCP and the patch. I started them at age 17, I had painful, irregular TOMs for years, so my OBGYN put me on them to get some regulation. I am regular, but every now and again, I get a heavy flow for 2 weeks! I've had that problem more so with the patch than with BCPs. I do not recommend the patch while losing weight. The estrogen in the patch is absorbed by the fat cells in your body, (why you wear it on your hips or fatty areas of the body) When I had higher BF%, they worked, but as I lost weight, they were not as effective in controlling TOM. So BCPs are a lot more effective, hence why just this week, I've gone back to them.
All this was to say, I still lost weight while on BC, even before I started this WOL
