writes:Hi, Just a quick question here. Might sound silly but I just wanted to know. I'm aware being on the pill is meant to 'trick' your body into thinking its pregnant as such. Does this mean any emotions you experience whilst on the pill, you will be likely to experience when you're pregnant? Thanks

It depends entirely which pill you are on. They are all different for every different person.
Some give you bad symptoms and some make your life easier.
Give the one you are on 3 or 4 months to settle down and if you still don't like the side effects then go back to the doctor and switch to a different one.
I've been through 4 so far since I was 17 and I am 25 now.
Good Luck!! xx

 Being pregnant for me meant emotionally irrational and weepy at times. Being on the pill was worse, like permanent pmt the whole month, I was quite horrible and stopped taking it and opted for the coil instead when I was in my 30's x

I didn't notice any extreme hormonal change when I was using it but whatever pill I was on (forget the name sorry) was the lowest hormone dosage available

yes like you'll gain an appetite, and perhaps gain weight, keep a close eye on what/how much ur eating! Also breasts get bigger.
