Has anyone else put on weight taking these pills?
Thanks :)

Hi Lore,

I haven't noticed any weight gain whilst on this pill, but if i have, then its more than likely I've put weight on cos of food! Its not a great deal on weight - just got a bit of a belly!

I've been taking this for 6 months and have noticed that I seem to have a larger appetite! it might also be down to co-habiting with my other half

This was the first pill that the doctor put me on and yes, I did get fatter and was moodier than usual so I spoke to my doctor who told me that there are hundreds of different pills and you have just got to keep trying different ones until you find one that suits you best. I have now been put on the progesterone only pill because of high blood pressure and this is actually the best one I have been on. If it's really bothering you speak to your doctor and hopefully you will get something different.

Yes I gained 4-5 lbs after taking Mycrogynon because it made me hungry, so I ate more. It also gave me mood swings that got worse, so I switched to Mercilon (also a combined pill), which was fine and I'd recommend (and is also supposed to make you 3lbs lighter after taking it for a year?! Though when you've gained weight from another pill it's kind of too late!). I'd second what's been said above, everyone is different and sometimes you have to switch pills a few times before you get it right, but combined pills are over 99% effective so worth persevering.
