    When I started taking the pill, I didn't put on any weight. To be honest, it's hard to predict how you're going to react to it until you start taking it, each woman has her own sensitivity to the hormones.

    I'm on Microgynon 30 and on the pack it says that increased weight loss only happens if you eat more.

    I'm on a diet right now and taking the pill and I can't say it has really effected my appetite or my weight. As long as you eat right and exercise I can't see there really being a problem - but i guess people react different....
