Has anyone ever LOST weight on the pill?

I know the majority of people seem to gain weight when taking the contraceptive pill, but I'm wondering if the opposite had happened to anybody?

I started microgynon 30 in January and it's the only difference that's made me lose a stone for the first time ever! I must point out that I wasn't doing any exercise or eating healthy, it really seemed to suppress my appetite - I was starving myself, I just had NO hunger.

Have this happened to anyone else?

    This is interesting! Hope someone can answer better than me. I've been on Femcon FE since I was 16, but after I hit 18 I gained weight. Now that I'm trying to lose weight it seems to let me lose weight so far. I started at 218 now the scale is down to 212ish with dieting and exercise. I get normal hunger also.

    Wonder what everyone elses responces are.

    I take Portia and after I started losing I gained about 19 pounds at one point. Now I'm going down ever so slowly. To be honest, I've never had so much trouble losing weight before. It's a bit upsetting. Before I started it I was about 181-183 and then I ballooned back up to 200 very quickly. Finally down to 192ish but it's taking wayyyy more work than it ever has before.
