A member asked:

Have bloating, lower back pain, & cramps for 3 weeks now. usually @ night, but does happen during day. almost daily. im on birth contr & skip placebos?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GYN exam: Take your BC pills exactly as directed and make an appointment for a full pelvic exam by your GYN. OK to use Aleve (naproxen) or Advil for cramping/bleeding until seen.

I tried fennel tea today to help with bloating, but I read its estrogen producing and decreases the efficacy of birth control. Im on my placebo pills & I had two cups today only. Is that going to harm me? Am I still protected on my BCPs ?
