i went on Microgynon30 last year, and the opposite happened to me, i actually lost my appetie and went from a size 14 to a 12 (wooo!) and lost over a stone without trying!! but my boobs got bigger :D (but this is rare)
but like the other poster said, most people do get an increased apetite so it is important to keep an eye on what you are eating if this happens and increase the amout of exercise you do.
hope this helped

the contraceptive pill will not make you fat all by itself. what it will do is increase your appetite, so youre more likely to eat more and thus gain weight. i'm on the pill myself, and have started it twice without gaining any weight, and actually managed to lose half a stone while starting it the second time (whilst dieting). speak to your doctor about the other side effects, particularly if you get migraines or have a strong family history of breast cancer (before the age of 45).
