I <3 sQuaTs is just getting started up in this joint
Female Gender: Female
Default hormonal contraceptives....

I have always gotten off of my birth control about 3 months before a contest. I used to be on Yasmin 28 (oral estradial/progesterone), but last year I swtiched to the nuvaring (transdermal estradial/progesterone.) The reason I did this was to cut out anything that might not let my body lose bodyfat. I would usually either have a light period for the 3 months that taoers off close to the show, or none at all (though when I started back up right after the contest everything goes back to normal.) I am 100% natural. Has anyone else done this or found that it would make any significatn difference? If you've done it, how many weeks out before a show would you stop??
