question about which herbs interfere with birth control
January 25 2007 at 6:49 PM Melissa (Login mama2fiveboys)
Hi! My name is Melissa, (I am a friend of Wonderbride's, she is the one who told me about this site) I am 37, 5'2" 120 pounds I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 19 years and we have 5 sons ranging in age from 17 to 7! I have always been small breasted (an A cup) but after having 5 boys and nursing them I basically had nothing left. I have always felt hopeless about my breast size and thankfully my husband has always been very supportive and happy with what little I have . . . but I have not. I would love to run out and get breast implants, it is so acceptable today, however my biggest factor is the money, then the fear of the pain and then finally the fear of something going wrong . . . so I have suffered all of my life with small breasts.
Then one day I was reading my Cosmo and came upon the ad in the back for Bountiful Breast, I immediately went to their website and read if for hours, I wrote to 2 of the girls and they wrote back . . .confirming to me that they were real people not actors! It gave me so much hope hearing their stories, it was so expensive but for the first time I had hope! I ordered the year supply. It took a few months before I noticed anything but after that I started having small growth spurts about 1/2 inch at a time. I have been on the product for 9 months at 3 pills a day along with L-Tyrosine, DIM plus, kelp and selenium along with a liquid protein I can not do the shakes! I have grown a little over 2 inches, I can definately tell a difference, I am still small, I would say a small B cup now as I do fit in the padded push up bras I buy from Victoria's Secret, before I had so much room in them but could not bring myself to buy an A cup at 37 years old! I have noticed much more fullness and roundness than I had before and when I am wearing my bra I even have cleavage for the first time in my life!
All of your stories are very encouraging. I am thinking of adding some of the suppliments that so many of you have seen results from but after reading and rereading your posts for 2 days I am confused about which of these suppliments interfere with birth control, I am currently using the Nuva Ring as birth control pills make me throw up. I would like to add the Wild Yam cream as I saw it the Vitamin shoppe and it was pretty inexpensive also I think I read that Saw Palmetto can interefere with birth control and maybe something else I have having a hard time keeping it all straight, any advice you can give me is greatly appreciated!!!

first of all, welcome! any friend of wonderbrides is a friend of ours...
congrats on seeing results from bb... we have a few people that are on or were on bb and they liked it as well. i am on bovine ovary but a generic form, not bb. my program has a million things in it... you can read my program page! i am on depo and havent had any problems with it interfering with my shot... but to be safe i have switched from saw palmetto to nettle root, and while i am trying vitex i dont even get to see my husband so i cant vouch for that one way or another!
with birth control you cant take PM pills, but you can do the creams (the PM pills wont interfere with your birth control, but the birth control will make the pills not work).
i think i remember reading that wild yam internally isnt good for birth control users, but i cant remember. also progesterone cream you arent supposed to use on birth control...
i hope that helps some!

Hi there and welcome! I'm on the Nuva ring also and I've taken saw palmetto and wild yam both internally...I haven't had any problems, nor any children (took the herbs for 3 months and I have a rather active sex life)...I asked my doctor before I started and she assured me that I would be fine...so call you doctor and check
good kluck!

Emmie and Erica,
Thank you both for your warm welcome and responding to my post. I was very concerned about that. I am at the point in my life where I am done having children. It is amazing what having 5 children can do to your body! My boys are 17 to 7 and the light of my life but I am ready to spend a little time on myself.

I would think that you probably are ready for some time to yourself! But if you're going to start BE get ready to spend a lot of time on it too! It somehow consumes your life...And good luck, not good kluck!
