The pill and food!!

Lately I've found that when I'm on the pill I'm 'grazing' throughout the day, eating a bit here and a bit there, pretty normally, but on my rest week when I'm not taking it my appetite disappears and I hardly eat anything. I have a history of eating disorders and I'm a bit worried it might cause me to relapse. I spoke to my GP and he said to wait and see what happens, but I wondered if anyone else finds that their appetite wavers when they're on/off the pill?

    I would hate to be told "wait and see what happens".

    It must be quite a scary time for you.

    Yeah I think I will; but if variations in appetite are normal then it could just be a case of me regulating my intake and making sure I eat even if I'm not that hungry....
