Question
Which birth control pills sustain appetite ?

Answer
For most women, I don't think birth control pills have any effect on appetite.  For some women it may, but I'm not aware of any specific pills that do.  I've heard some say that it's the estrogen that can affect appetite,and some say it's the progesterone.  Different pills just react differently in different women, and the only way to know is to try a pill and see.  For  most women, appetite won't be affected by any birth control pill.
