birth control

[Gutt]

my wife would like to try a 8week winny or anavar cycle. 10mg aday. will it effect her birth control pills. she is on ortho try.

what i mean can she get pregnant. we are going to st lucia in three weeks and she just went on the pill so she wont have her period. but after the trip she will go off the pill

this is womens' articles , it should be in fitness divas my friend

Why not play it safe and start the cycle AFTER she gets off the pill?

I'd recommend the anavar over winstrol...

personally i don't think women should use AAS unless they are competing or done having children....getting preganant on certain things can cause severe birth defects....

more then likely she can get the results she and most women are looking for w/ a change up in her training

i took a cycle of winny and b.c and I don't have any kids but b.c. pills do make you retain water and for most women winny casues them to retain a lot of water. maybe ask her doctor to write her a prescription for the morning after pill in those cases where you guys may have had an "accident". As far as interfereing- not necessarily, either one of the two(anavar or winny) may actually cause her to stop menstrating completely. I actually didn't have a period for a month after i stoped taking winny

Vcar & BC don't interact. The 2 issues with being on a cycle & using birth control that sort of contradict each other:

1) Often women look to var as as low-sides AAS which doesn't cause water retention. If anything, they expect to lean out lots on it. Var isn't a fat reducer per se. Birth control often (depending on the person, tho) regulates estrogen levels and in some cases, may also promote (or maintain) estrogen-related fat depositing & a certain amount of water retention. So while combining var & BC, there is no interaction between the two that negates the intended function of one or the other, but the results as far as trying to achieve significant fat reduction may be compromised. Again, this depends on the person and is also a bigger deal if you are pursuing the var cycle with the intended purpose of preparing for a competition where you are seriously focused on reducing fat & water retention while building & maintaining good quality muscle.

2) Birth control is often used to help establish regular periods, cramping, etc. so the period is regular & predictable. AAS sometimes makes it appear that a period has stopped. So then you start to wonder if your BC is actually working. Another item related not to the AAS but to the dieting often associated with the ultimate purpose of cycling to build muscle & lean out is that at a certain point in body fat reduction (e.g. 11% bf & lower), the period may stop.
