Does BCP interfer with growth
February 2 2007 at 5:14 PM LovesButterflies (Login LovesButterflies)

Has BCP been known to interfer with NBA and growth? I was on BCP, but this month decided to stop for a couple months while I'm on NBE for fear it'd interfer with growth. But if it has been known not to, I might as well get back on them next month. I probably should have asked you girls this before.

Hey,

I also just stopped taking bcp. I'm just taking vitex for the moment and as vitex works by balancing your own hormones, I think bcp will hinder the vitex. Will see if I get better results. However, some girls have had good results with herbs while on bcp (I thought Lisa?), while others, like Emmie, had great results with bo. I guess it depends on what you are taking?

Good luck!

I have been on birth control (Nuvaring) the entire time I have been taking BB pills (BO), I have gained nearly 2 inches in the 9 months that I have been taking them so I would think it doesn't affect the BO anyways. Hope this helps!

In most cases it's been found that it didn't matter or even helped growth, but in some cases it can hinder it, depends on your hormones and the brand.

I'm on the pill and I think I'm doing really well with my NBE.

hi i am also on birth control.. a really low dose that i seem to like so far. i am taking a bunch of nbe supplements though and i dont' feel the tingles. its strange because before i went on birth control i did. do you have a program page and do you mind if i inquire about what you are taking.

i am taking almost ev. except vitex, black cohosh, blessed thistle, and pm

i was wondering if you had printed your program page. i am on birth control and i take a bunch of nbe supplements. the only ones i don't take are

blessed thistle, black cohosh, vitex, pm,..etc.

before birth control i felt tingles and now i don't.

I got some growth with PM but when I started the BCP all growth stopped immediately. So I'm sure that PM and BCP are incompatible.

bc mess. program page

Hi ya'll, actually... if we got everyone who is on birth control to give their names and programs on one message page.. then we wouldn't have to go through eve. ones programs. it can be a little overwhelming..

programs tailored to bcp users

bcp interferes with pm (internally). you can still use the creams, but not the pills... it wont affect the bcp, but the bcp stops the pm from working.

My fennel and fenugreek works fine with my bcp. I have gained a cup size. I wouldn't want to use the PM pills with bcp however. I am too afraid of bloodclots.

PM and the BCP
February 6 2007, 1:05 AM

I was talking to a herbalist (friend of the family) the other day, and she was saying that taking PM capsules alongside a BCP should be fine. My priority is ofcourse, not getting pregnant, (though it may do temporary wonders for my boobs! ;p ) however she said if ANYTHING were to interfere...it would mean the PM wouldn't be as effective. I have ordered some PM pills (150mg in each pill) and i'll give it a go, maybe even mix some of the powder in the capsules into my boobie cream...and i'll keep you posted.

*much luck for all*

Dumb question probably
February 6 2007, 7:02 AM

First off... I'm using New Curves, the pills and cream, and so far so good, I measured myself today and looks like I grew 1/4 of an inch already.. the dumb question I have is what is PM?

PM is short for Pueraria Mirifica.
I too got confused by all these abbreviations at first.
