My girl is doing 50mg Primo week, and when she went to get her birth control shot I think it is called Depot or something. She spotted for a few days. Is this normal? L8R IP: Logged |

Are you saying that she's been on birth control shots for some time and has only started spotting since the primo, or that she's just started the birth control shots? Birth control OR A/S can cause spotting (they both mess with the hormonal cycle). ------------------ IP: Logged |

Yea she has been getting her shots for birth control for about 5 years it was when I added the Primo. She did get her update shot for birht control the day before she started the primo. Thanks for the help I just don't want any little thiassis running around. L8R IP: Logged |

I'm guessing it was Depo Provera (once every 3 month injections?). If so, then spotting is the single most common side effect of this means of birth control, so I'm not sure they're related. But other side effects she should worry about (not related to pregnancy as such) are decreased levels of Testosterone (and very likely any exogenous A/S) and fat and water weight gain. In other words She probably won't get pregnant but the Birth control is working against the primo. Kind of a waste. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Depo thats it. She has never spotted on it, so that is why I was concerned. I also have her on cynomel, milk thistle, and at the end of the cycle some lasic. Why would the Depo negate the Primo? I'm sorry, I don't understand. L8R IP: Logged |

Sorry for the confusion thiassi. If she's on a cycle to gain size or strength then she'll be fine. If she wants to cut up, then the Depo Provera will greatly hinder her efforts. Depo Provera is a Progesterone and will inhibit 'natural' gains, but I don't know for sure what effect it will have on exogenous A/S. At least pregnancy isn't too likely!! Not unlikely either....around 1 out of every 100 women on depo will get pregnant every year. That's like 1 in 5 chance over the next 20 years. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Ok I'm new to this so. I didn't even think that birth control would work while you were taking a/s. And isn't kinda counterproductive? I have a lot to learn... IP: Logged |

Clen and birth control pills are fine to mix. It may affect the clen results, but only because you may hold more water, and be less likely to lose as much fat from your lower body than if you weren't on BC pills. In many ways it's similar to the reason Deca is not favored as a cutting steroid. Deca and BC are both progestrogenic, hence the bloating commonly associated with Deca. It's for this reason also that it's not such a good idea to mix BC and AAS. It's really all a matter of degree. If you're just trying to 'tone up' and lose some excess fat, then BC is probably not going to make a huge difference. If you're trying to put on muscle, then BC won't make a big difference. But if you're trying to get ultra lean for a show, then BC is a really poor drug to have in your system. ------------------ IP: Logged |
