A member asked:

I'm already infertile, i take birth control to help with the monthly bleeding. would taking a prohormone mess with my birth control very much?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Estrogen and testosterone are very similar in their chemistry within your body differing solely by a few . Higher testosterone levels in women can effect estrogen. I'm not sure why you would take the risks of prohormone, even given that you are infertile.
