I've just read that the Pill can cause an increase in appetite, which may not be helping with my overeating. I don't blame taking it for me eating a lot overall because I started taking it mid-December and I'd been overeating prior to that. But since I've been taking it my appetite and cravings for food have been worse than ever, so could it be the Pill that's causing it?
It's difficult, because the Pill has many benefits regarding my PCOS- I have periods now after none for a year, my acne should soon clear up, and due to the hormone regulation after a few months I should feel generally better in myself (although with the OCD I doubt I'll feel that great all the time!) But increased appetite is an unpleasant side effect, especially for someone with eating problems as it is.
And as I've only been taking it for a month, there could be other side effects or problems ahead that I just haven't experienced yet.
