Figured I'd put this in the NROL4W forum, since the guys won't be interested in reading this study!

Interesting! I'm not surprised, though. The pill messed with my system in so many minor ways. The benefits always outweighed the problems, but I'm glad I'm past that point in my life.

Interesting read, thanks for posting. I do not use bc but any other women want to share what they use or works for them?

Studies like that gave me a scare a while ago, then I read the actual abstract (Leigh linked it to me, I can look it up if you want), and it explained that it's mostly the 1st generation pills that inhibit lbm gains. The lighter 2nd generation pills and derivates (nuvarings, patches), allowed for a greater gain in lbm. Not as good as au naturel, but the different was a lot less dramatic.
