The hardened abdomen protects the coconut crab and reduces water loss on land, but has to be moulted periodically. Adults moult annually, and dig a burrow up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) long in which to hide while vulnerable. It remains in the burrow for 3 to 16 weeks, depending on the size of the animal.
Jolessa â¢ (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol) is a prescription birth control pill. Despite common knowledge, weight gain is probably not a side effect of Jolessa or most other birth control pills.
skyjedi New Member. I am about to start my first pack of Loestrin 24. I talked with my OB about my fear of weight gain. I was on Othrtricyclene Lo and Yasmine years ago and gained weight. She told me that birth control is not proven to cause weight gain and that it might be an increase in appetite. talked with my OB about my fear of weight gain.
