Administrators ladyshanny Posted May 7, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 7, 2015 Of course! Doctor's orders/prescriptions trump Whole30. Link to comment

Sophsmom Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The pill will regulate your sex hormones by giving you a steady dose every day. It keeps things from getting messed up, doesn't make it messed up. Link to comment
Administrators ladyshanny Posted May 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think she was more referring to the fact that she's taking a synthetic hormone that overrides her body's own hormone patterns. Since an enormous part of Whole30 is hormone regulation, the pill messes with that a bit. Of note, even folks on the birth control pill have reported noticing that they have breakthrough bleeding or even full blown periods while transitioning to a Whole30 food-style. Just a head's up, don't panic if this happens to you. Things eventually regulate and most of these "issues" go away on their own. Link to comment
