Oh god you guys must think I'm a wreck with all these side effects! (Actually my headaches have vanished, at least!) I just realised my period is a week late, I'm usually pretty regular. I read online that this can be caused by Orlistat, but as I'd only just started it when I was due, seems kind of soon! Anyone else have this?

Very much doubt I'm preggo as had totally normal period like clockwork after last doing the deed!

    K not sure if it was the pills or not but Aunt Flo finally came over today, 2 1/2 weeks late! I think it was the change in exercise because for the last week or so I've been really lazy about swimming, and it started up again..and I started losing again. Laziness pays, my friends smile
