Does anyone take a low-dose birth control pill for perimenopause?
Posted , 7 users are following.
Currently I’m taking B vitamins and a product called Estro-Adapt (recommended by my naturopath). I’m not feeling any better as time passes though. I’ve read that low dose BCPs can help.

Hi Owlgirl, I have heard this too. And even the morning after pill works for some people. I am on Elleste Duet which I believe is a similar oestrogen/progesterone
Pill similar to contraceptive pill only higher hormone concentrations. I'm going to ask about Bhrt or patches as I am still suffering alot of symptoms and to a very unpleasant degree! XXX

Hi owlgirl! I have been taking birth control lutera for 9 years. I am now menopausal at 54. I can say it helped me being that I started it in my forties and it kept me stable. No symptoms that were problematic till recently when I stopped taking them for two months to let my body do its thing. That was a mistake! Thats when full blown symptoms really kicked in. I am not familiar with what you are taking but I am back on my pills for now till my gyn may switch to an hrt later. The symptoms were too extreme for me and I won't go into that now, but it was bad. I had blood work done last June on the off week which showed my levels at menopausal. Now I take them continuously so that I won't go back and forth with the levels. Hope this helps any.

I take one and it does help me. I started last year and it helps. I take Estarylla .25-0.035 mg. I tried another one that didn't work, so they put me on this one. It has made a big difference. I'm also taking B vitamins and calcium supplements recommended by my dr.
