I have no idea about the Clen/ECA stuff but I also take an oral contraceptive and have no problems losing weight.  I do cut it out 2-3 months before my shows just in case it makes me retain a little water but leaning out on it has not been a problem for me.

Use a condom.

Talk to your dr. about a low estrogen form of orals if other forms don't work for you. I changed last year and noticed a huge difference regarding water retention, almost non-existant.  ;)

As far as I know, oral contraceptives do not disrupt fat loss.
They do however have an effect on water retention.
If this is a concern for you, you should consult with your physician.
