Hi lycheefan,

Nope, in the case of the combination pill there is not a weight cut-off for when it stops being effective. Too, as with all birth control, when people have concerns that something about their body or healthy history might influence it's effectiveness, that's something to raise with the healthcare provider when choosing the method or ask a pharmacist.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
