A member asked:
Can the progesterone-only pill make me more hungry?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There is not much difference between the estrogen and progesterone pills when it comes to weight gain by being hungry. Yes there is some concern but good counseling will keep you on tract.

Some people who take progesterone-only products (pills, injections, IUDs) experience an increase in appetite while others see a decrease, although neither are listed as side effects in drug labeling. A related question is weight gain where, on the whole, people taking progesterone-only products do not experience weight change, although a small number see an increase or decrease.
