Hey ladies,
Couple of questions...
1. Does BO negate, or diminish, the effectiveness of birth control? I know this has been addressed somewhat but I can't find a whole lot of answers from women on both BO and combination BC pills. What's anyone's experience?
2. Is it possible for a non-pubescent woman to grow breasts when she is no longer ovulating because of being on BCP?
3. When I'm not on BO my acne is minimal. On BO, however, it can be awful! Does anyone know if being on BCP while also BO will make the acne better (than when I had natural cycles)?
thank you in advance ladies!!! Just in case, I'm on Yaz BCP and taking 1000 mg of BO daily (with Kelp). I was on 1500 mg BO before but I went down because 1) got a lot of pains right away but no more after 1.5 months so it might have been too strong and 2) Acne was nuts and was driving me insane.

1. Does BO negate, or diminish, the effectiveness of birth control?
Answer: It shouldn't interfere with the BC pill. I have been on BCP the whole time and it hasn't been a problem.
2. Is it possible for a non-pubescent woman to grow breasts when she is no longer ovulating because of being on BCP?
Answer: I have gone from size 36A to 36C without ovulating. As stated above, I'm on the combination pill.
3. When I'm not on BO my acne is minimal. On BO, however, it can be awful! Does anyone know if being on BCP while also BO will make the acne better (than when I had natural cycles)?
Answer: This must be up to the individual. I am blessed with perfect skin but initially when I started NBE I got a few spots. It got back to normal after a few weeks though.
Aacne can occur for so many different reasons you know.

If you got pains in your breasts on 1500 mg, then that was the right dose for you to grow.

I'm also on a mixed bcp and DNE BO and BB didn't interfere with my pills. However, when I stopped BB due to nausea I did get very very very minimal spotting the morning after I stopped, but then it went away and I'm fine. I'm also on Yaz bcp.
However, I can't be of use to you for growth because I'm having trouble taking BO.
