Wonderful!: Of you feel this and look thinner then that's wonderful! The scale is not reliable because if you gained muscle mass it will show on your body but not on the scale which means you will look and feel thinner but your weight will not change. Some water retention does occur with oral contraceptives and also with your period but generally this is water weight and will not stay.
