Is it okay to take a prohormone while on birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: As a physician for women i cannot in any way recommend that you take prohormone. The answer is yes, it could interfere with birth control. And more importantly, prohormone could cause lasting effects on fertility, as well as putting other aspects of your health at risk. Women do have testosterone in their bodies, but adding testosterone derivatives is never a good idea. Steer clear.
