Thread: Gaining muscle while on birth control

Hi there. Just curious if any of you have been on birth control, what kind, and if you’ve struggled to gain muscle while on it. Currently I’m on the Liletta IUD (hormonal version) and I can’t help but wonder if this is impairing my ability to gain muscle in my lower body. I’ve seen minimal strength gains in months. I’ve heard both control pills can have a negative effect on performance but are IUD’s the same? I’m considering switching methods to the paraguard non hormonal IUD. Anyways, thanks!
