Guest guest Posted October 27, 2000 Report Share Posted October 27, 2000 You say this paralysis doesn't go away after you stop taking bc. Does your doc think that by not using synthetic hormones that the condition may improve?...just wondering. My doc gave me a prescription for bc pills when my body returns to normal. At the time I was still pretty much in shock and not thinking real clearly about all things I wish I would have asked. At that time never ocurred to me that the bc could be a cause. In the past week or so while searching out info, I've seen it mentioned a number of times and don't want to resume that method if it may increase my chances (even if it's just slightly or theoretical) of a repeat ep. > Amy, > > got a bunch of your abbreviations, but here are a couple more - > > dpo = days past ovulation > cd = cycle day > bd = baby dance (as in the " act " - having sex!) > bc = birth control > > There is research that suggests that any of the hormone altering forms of BC > can play a factor in ep's.
