High Triglycerides? (Ocella)

High Triglycerides? (Ocella)

I have been taking Ocella for about a year now and I've just had a physical. At my  (3 years ago) physical before birth control all of my levels were really good. On this physical when my bloodwork came back it was all very good with two exceptions. 1. My Triglycerides were 277, and my TSH was high (low thyroid). All of the other cholesterol levels were really good.

Some background here: In September of '09 I weighed 417lbs, and today I weighed 325lbs. I went on birthcontrol to help control my PCOS and so that I could stop obsessing over having a kid long enough to lose this weight.

I want to know if anyone else is having or has had this experience because I want to know if I should stop taking the BC. I have follow up blood work in 3 mos so I am going to try and get that number down on my own, but if it could be my BC I want to call my doctor and see what she thinks. Sorry to make this so long, I'm just concerned.

Thanks!
