success with birth control pills.

hello!
I would like to know if anyone has had success wilst on birth control pills. I dont want to know if birth control pills have made you grow, but rather if nbe was successful DESPITE the fact that you were on bcp.
I am currenlty on Diane 35, and here's what i found on a website:
Diane-35 contains two hormones: cyproterone acetate, a progestogen, and ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen. Cyproterone acetate inhibits the influence of androgens and reduces the activity of the sebaceous gland which plays an important role in the development of acne and seborrhea.
"What's unique about Diane-35 is its ability to block androgen activity at the pilosebaceous unit," Belisle said. "While all oral contraceptives may decrease the production of androgens to some extent, only Diane-35 decreases the ability of androgens to bind to their receptors, improving signs of androgenisation such as acne, seborrhea and hirsutism in women.
"Because Diane-35 contains both an estrogen and progestin, it provides extremely reliable contraception with good cycle control in patients treated for acne, seborrhea and hirsutism. .
..........
i'm not actally taking diane for acne, but i have noticed an improvement of my skin. I'm wondering if this pill could be whats preventing me from obtaining any results. i've tried nbe in the past while on this pill and nothing! i've tried bo and a herb mixture. I'm not on a new program, and i'm just curious to know if anyone managed to grow while taking bcp.
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLIES!!!

Hi there, I am growing much better on BCP, I am taking Yasmin, which is a bit like Diane as in lowering androgen levels, it is not as strong but basically one of those pills too.
Christina grew really well while being on BCP, so it really does work, I think that my pill is actually helping BE because it is lowering the androgens and I don't have to take that high doses of other androgenic herbs.
Good luck,
Lisa

Yes, I'm very curious about this too! I recently switched my birth control from Yaz to Desogen, and whilst starting my first month on Desogen I also started taking Breast Gain Plus. I had pains in my breasts the first week but then after that the pains only came sporadically. I was on it for three weeks (which I know isn't a long time) but I decided to stop taking BGP just because I really felt it was interfering with my birth control... which I think I was right about! It's been almost a week without Breast Gain Plus and my breasts have already swelled a bit! Across my bust I was 30.5" during my BGP and BC period, now after discontinuing use of BGP my bust measurements are 31.5" -- that's a whole inch!! So I definately think that birth control can have an affect on NBE -- good or bad.
It seems like girls who are taking estrogen-heavy birth controls (like Desogen & Ortho-Cyclen) don't have as much luck with NBE as girls who are taking progesterone-heavy birth controls (like Yasmin). I personally think that the best thing for us girls to do is to take a break from our birth control while on NBE, so that you won't have any interference. Of course, if you decide to "get it on" during the months that you're on NBE you'll need a "back-up method of protection". LOL
