Some women notice differences in their strength and stamina during their period or after starting hormonal birth control, but other women don't. I personally never noticed a difference.

Well, I will see how it affects me and my workouts and keep this in mind. And if it does have a negative impact, then the hubby will just have to get snipped instead. ;) Chaobell--what brand were you on before, and what are you on now? interesting…I just went on bcp and this is not what i want to hear!

The first Pill they put me on occasionally made me barf, and looking at a single watercress leaf made me gain ten pounds when it didn't. The one they switched me to when I couldn't stand this anymore allowed me to eat everything edible in a 10-mile radius and still drop weight. Crazy stuff.

I may not be gaining as much muscle, but at least I'm able to work out! Before I was laid up almost 2 weeks a month with pain, nausea, etc. Risk versus reward I suppose... Trishy also has a really good point about the high variability in levels and types of hormones on OC.

Hormone levels in these pills can vary quite dramatically from brand to brand, so I wonder if these effects are still seen with the low-dose pills, or if the study already included some of those.
