A member asked:
If i am on a combined bc pill , should i avoid foods that contain phytoestrogens? they won't decrease my pills effectiveness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, no: Phytoestrogens are so minimally bioeffective they will should not affect your birth control pill - however - you have to take a birth control pill the same time every day and don't miss a pill. Plus, birth control pills are only about 97 to 99% effective.
