As for your question about BMI, research has shown a relationship between birth control pills and weight. A woman’s weight could contribute to oral contraceptive failure if you are considered obese. Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater. I think you are fine with a BMI of 27, but you might want to consider options on how to lower that number (and feel better too!) :-)
