Earlier, I posted a study on PCOS and Bulimia. here: http://www.soulcysters.net/1888221367-post16.html

This quote stuck out to me:

4) Antiandrogenic OC treatment reduced meal-related hunger and gastric distention in women with bulimia nervosa and improved bulimic behavior in relation to reduced testosterone levels

It looks like the testosterone levels were related to the hunger in these women...

Maybe that's why Yasmin was the only bcp where I actually [i]lost[i] weight while using it. I do remember that it seemed to help my appetite and I definitely felt less bloated.

Interesting find

Hmm... I'm on a pretty potent anti-androgen (Androcur) and when I think about it, I rarely get "hungry." I eat because I know I have to, but I can't remember the last time I was "hungry."

(I'm still fat though! )

Come to think of it, when I lost my 90lbs, I don't ever recall having to deal with hunger, either. At the time I was taking flutamide.
