I was off BCP for 4 months, I think I've grew about an inch, by the way I back on BCP for 2 months and thought my boobs shrunk a bit as my measurement gone down however my boobs still fit in my bras nicely. Was wondering anyone taking herbs/pm and BCP got results?

Thanks

I'm curious about BCP and PM together also because I rely on my BCP ALOT. It regulates my period, helps my skin, limits cramps and not to mention the physical side with my partner.

I want to try PM with my BCP and see if it works.

If anyone has any success stories with this combination, please post something up!

Hi,
I think beth used the BCP and PM:

I think it might be dangerous. Too much estrogenic activity in the body could cause blood clots or perhaps sterility and cancer in the reproductional organs or breasts. Ask a doctor before experimenting.

Do you really think that it could be that dangerous?

I mean if could make you infertile for the rest of your life?

I took PM for about 1 month with BCP, I'm on Yasmin and I need it to control my ovarian cysts so I can't come off it - mainly it helps my skin and my period and mid cycle pains. I don't need it for contraception. I felt fine for the first month then the second month I only took about 3 doses and had really bad back pain and was worried the PM was playing up the cysts - forgot that I fell and bruised my back badly a few days before - duh!! So I came off the PM and I'm waiting until the next cycle to go back on it. I really think I over reacted and doubt the PM had any negative effect at all, we have to remember that compared to your body's natural hormones the pill and herbs are really really weak so the most likely negative effect is that nothing happens. The reason they advise not to use PM with BCP is that the pill is stonger so apparently it can prevent the PM working. There is also a low risk that using herbs in general (? PM worse than others) can stop the pill from providing contraception.

I would say if you're not relying on the pill for contraception and you don't mind the possibility of wasting your money then adding PM shouldn't be a problem and you've got nothing to lose.
