Well it might be worth it but... I am on the pill and usually, in the last day or so of the pack, I get a little bloated and tend to gain weight for a few days until my period is over. Now for the past couple of years, I've been taking three 21-packs in a row before taking a break to get my period. Interestingly enough, I am noticing that the bloating and weight gain even happens when I am at the end of a pack and starting a new one. I've watched this carefully for many months now and I'm pretty sure it's not my imagination or coincidence.
