PM AND IM CONTRACEPTION....VERY GOOD QUESTION
May 11 2007, 6:42 PM
This one is tricky....the reason to not use PM and the oral birth control pills is that, because miroestrol is so similar (bio-identical) to human estradiol, the PM and the synthetic estrogens/progestins in the pill will compete for the same receptor sites on your cells. The consequences...the pill may not work well, unwanted pregnancy could happen and/or the PM will not work well and you are just throwing your money away on pills and becoming more and more disappointed, discouraged etc. You might not feel so hot either!
The IM or or 3 mo Injection is most likely depo-provera...I am assuming. This is a bit different in that it is a "progesterone like" compound as opposed to the pill that is more "estrogen like". It would seem that one could combine these two, but no, that is probably not good. This is why. Progestins can be metabolized into estrogenic compounds and therefore it will then do the same thing that BCP do...compete. Diminishing if not negating, the efficacy of both. So no, probably not a good idea to use PM orally with the shot.
You CAN use the topicals or creams, serums, sprays, soaps and gels alone however.

Anyone out there have any other thoughts on this?
