Thing is, my appetite is controlled. I continue to eat exactly the same as I did 3 months ago, before I started taking Femcon. I am hungrier, but I also know the consequences of eating more, so I have laid off. Birth control CAN affect weight, so please, stop accusing us of all being hungry cows (granted, you did not say those exact words, but the meaning is still the same). Significant increases in estrogen can increase water retention and bloating. I've gained ten pounds and three pant sizes, even though my diet and exercise has remained the same for five years (and somehow managed to stay the same all five years, until this point).
