A member asked:
Is there any reason female athletes should not take birth control? i am a female runner, i run minimum 50 miles a week. will bc effect my performance?

Not a problem: Some women experience weight gain on certain forms of birth control, but there is nothing wrong with taking birth control in conjunction. Both are healthy decisions if you want to prevent pregnancy and stay physically fit. Be sure to use barrier contraception to prevent sexually transmitted infections.
