Bodybuding and Birthcontrol??

[BodyBabe91]

I was curious if anyone had any insight on what birthcontrol limits you? Should I be on Yaz while training and losing weight? I havent noticed much bloating in the three years ive been on birthcontrol. I was told that it can really limit your gains.

Any help woulf be awesome.

I'm on generic Yaz and I notice no problems whatsoever. I actually think I read somewhere that Yaz has a diuretic in the active pills but don't quote me on that because I could be wrong. I notice a couple pound gain when I have my period but by two days back on active pills, I'm back to normal.

That being said, everyone is different and it might cause problems for someone else even though it doesn't for me. If you really don't want to take bc pills, there's always a diaphragm which can hinder spontaneity or be a pain to use in general but if you really don't want to be pregnant, you've got to use something. Good luck!

I am on nuvaring and it has not inhibited my fat loss. According to my bodycomps, I am down 5% bf since my original, getting real with myself, starting point about 4 months ago, my first month of really getting on top of my diet and being strict I saw a huge change but it has dwindled down to around 2-3 pds of fat a month for the past 3 months. I have noticed more water retention around my period, I gain around 5 pounds and I always end up losing all that plus an extra .5-1pd on the next weigh in. The only thing I have noticed that might inhibit me is that I get so hungry and impulsive when it comes to foods around my period, this might just be a normal period thing though, I haven't had a normal one for 4 years until I started birthcontrol recently.

eta: I have not lost muscle mass, my first month it said I had gained muscle, but after that I have just maintained. The only serious lady at my gym said that when she took a break from birth control she did see improvements faster but the risk of getting pregnant was not one she was willing to take so she went back on birth control. I am thinking about going off of it when my husband deploys again and see if it has any truth to it.
