A member asked:
Been on progesterone only bc for year now. last month and a half i've had insomnia.not sleeping for more then 4 hrs a night. could it be from bc? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: I'd say close to certain it's not related to the bc. If it is, it is an extremely unusual effect. For people who believe in simple cause-and-effect symptoms (i don't) it would be more likely the progestin pill would make you sleepy. You better look for another cause.
