Question: i heard that it does. does anyone know for sure?
Answers: i heard that it does. does anyone know for sure?
i've never heard about that but i have heard recently that it causes miscarriages. but i guess if you're taking BC pills you don't have to worry about that lol
I don't have a medical answer, but I can say that I've used birth control pills for years (15) and I drink a large amount of caffeine daily. I've never gotten pregnant without trying to be :)
No. There is always speculation in the news but it does not affect your birthcontrol pills.
No, caffeine does not make birth control pills less effective.
"There is no data to support that caffeine reduces the effectiveness of birth control pills or other hormonal birth control.
However, since the pill can cause breast tenderness, and caffeine can make that worse, if you're having any issues with that, you may want to cut back on the java some. Too, BCPs can intensify the effects of caffeine, making you feel extra jittery."
