Birth control pills do they harm or help?

I have been debating on going on BCPs and wondering if they will help with NBE or hurt things? If they do help is there any BCPs tht help more than others? Any input would be appreciated.

I think they only help if you have underlying hormonal problems as they regulate your hormones and can reduce testosterone. Most people who grow on BCP shrink back down either when their body gets used to it or they come off it. However if you have bad skin / pms / period pain / mid cycle pain etc it can fix all that, will also make your period regular and predictable, lighter and shorter. If your hormones are well balanced naturally the pill may give you headaches, bloating / weight gain / water retention, nausea etc and just generally make you feel unwell or may have no effect at all.

I always thought that taking BCP was a bad thing if you were trying NBE and the pill would interfere and reduce your chances of success, but since I've found this forum I'm no longer sure.

I don't know whether BCP harms or helps, but if you must take BCP then some of the Wonderup girls have said that taking a progesterone only pill is better if you're on NBE. I don't know the reason though.
