*sigh* .. been there, done that, wish I hadn't
Ah Accutane .. and years and years of antibiotics, etc.... Now I have Rosacea, just to add some excitement to the program.
About interfering with weight loss ... it's slightly possible, since the pill does have a low dose of estrogen in it, and estrogen can slow weight loss. However, I think the fat-burning advantage of a sound lowcarb program should outweigh this.
From what I've read, the progestogen-based contraceptives are more likely to cause weight gain and stalled weight loss efforts .. these include Provera and DepoProvera injections.
You are wise to keep yourself informed and updated on the drug and its effects. Everything's a trade-off .... and I understand perfectly that life can be miserable when your face is ravaged with angry red blemishes ... especially as an adult, when you're working and dealing as a professional in the public eye.
