I know the topic of birth control pills comes up very often. It's not a factor for me since I don't need it, BUT while watching a commercial last night something struck me that might need further thought. We have repeatedly told women that BC pills shouldn't effect BO, but may not have taken into consideration the new BC pills that stop periods or make them only occur every 3 months or so.
A large amount of women's growth on BO occurs during the final days before their period, so obviously it requires that paticular phase of the cycle to work for them. If someone knocks their cycles down to every three months like with YAZ, then I think chances are high that they will only have growth every three months, if they by chance wait that long before giving up. If they are on a BC that completely stops their periods, then I would say they risk it not working at all.
Now I know some of the women have reported tingles throughout, and someone that it seems to work that way for, may not have this problem, but for those of us that seem to cycle with our growth it should be taken in as a factor.
Those are just my thoughts and I wanted to make sure I put them out there for those women considering taking BO that are on BC pills. Feel free to join in and add your thoughts to or information you may have on this.
