Birth control, Bloating

[PumpHouse]

Hey guys and gals. My girlfriend recently switched from her lower estro birth control into a higher estro pill. I could probably ask her the exact dose if it helps, but she's concerned about the sudden weight gain and bloat she's getting. Especially when she's trying to stay in a powerlifting weight class. Any way to combat bloat without lowering the dose? She's already started taking in more liquid and cutting out some sodium (not much). Any long term strategies? Any supplements that wouldn't have any negative sides or negatively effect performance that are not banned by WADA? Anything in particular that's worked for you ladies?

There was a thread called birth control posted back in April in this section that u may find helpful..

Upping the water, watching the salt and really staying on point with her diet and any weight gain would just be temporary. One thing that I found helped me was MacaPro by BPS!

This was mentioned above but weight gain with any pill is usually temporary. 3 months max and she should be back to normal

Its perfectly normal to experience side effects the frost three months your on the pill. I would say stick it out eith this pill for at least 3 months and if u don't feel better after 3 months maybe try a different brand.
