Can Birth control pills hurt your athletic performance?


I have been taking bc pills for a few months and haven't gained any weight but i was worried that they might prevent me from building muscle as quickly or otherwise hurt my performance because it is more than my natural female hormones. Any ideas?

Will taking bc pills make you less strong?

I don't think so, but ask your doctor, it's possible the hormones could make it harder for you to build muscle but I've never heard that mentioned before in relation to the pill
