Thanks to all who replied. I came off these pills to have my baby and I really struggled with my weight before the pregnancy - Once I came off them the weight started to drop off and did throught my pregnancy - since going back on them the weight is slowly creeping back on. I don't think there's been any sort of increase in the amount I eat so just put it down to them. Hopefully it'll all settle down in a few weeks.
Thanks again :)

You cannot gain weight from this pill, it is increased apetite; ie, it makes you want to eat more. Eat as much as you did before you started taking it and you should be fine.

That was the first pill i was put on when I was 15 and I put on nearly a stone. I was still at school so i was excercising regularly. I cant remember if I was eating more as I have a large appetite anyway (im 5ft 11)
The doctor then put me on Loestrin, which wasnt suitable, then i was on Cileste. But they all made me too hormonal and changed my shape too much.
My best friend has problems with the pill- she was on Microgynon 30 which made her go up to a 36 GG. THis put too much strain on her back and shoulders so they switched her to Yasmin. I believe she hasnt had any problems since.

I had none what so ever. I did get changed to another pill for a brief period for a medical reason and it didnt work for me at all, i was bleeding when i wasnt supposed to be i wasnt protected at all thats was femodette and cerazette both of them only contain one aspect of the pill to stop u getting pregnanr i think ?
I would go with Microgyon coz i was put straight back on that and im fine also the microgyon contains 2 ingrediants one of which prevents the egg from getting pregnanted in the tube or summin i cant remeber correctly was a whole ago my doctor said this hehe
But stick iwth Microgyon its the best

i was fine with this pill until i reached 35 and not allowed to take it anymore....the weight gain might be a temp thing cos i actually lost weight on it. give it a couple of months and let your body get used to it. i wish i could still stay on this pill! by the way its the other contraceptions hat tend to put weight on u. good luck give it a chance x
