Honestly, I'm not a fan of BC at all. It's really bad for women, so I'd say just avoid it anyway. I've read many times that maca actually blocks that type of synthetic estrogen, which would mean that it would make the BC ineffective. I've read that maca makes BC ineffective separate from the last comment as well. I know that you CAN take progesterone with maca & it's fine, so maybe talk to your dr about a progesterone-only birth control if you really want to be on birth control
