vaginapaginaSo I just switched to a low dose BC (20mg of microgestrin) because my old pill was causing me problems. Now everything is fine except for the fact that I am now ravenously hungry all the time! I've been on 2 other pills but they never had this side affect on me. I even lost weight on the last pill I was on. I've read that the pill alone can't make you gain weight, but it may make you hungry thus causing you to eat more. Right now I've been dealing with it by telling myself that I'm not really hungry and it's just the pill, and trying to keep my food intake normal. I'm hoping that will be enough.
What do I do? Will this side affect go away once my body adjusts? At the very lease it is a real annyoance being hungry all the time. At the most, I don't want to blow up like a balloon! Thanks!
