CONTRACEPTIONAL DURING THE CYCLE FOR WOMEN :

There is a lot of doubt about the use of contraceptives during the cycle, and what I can say is that the functionality of the contraceptive is compromised during (it hinders gains and loses effectiveness) and after the use of androgens, since both are antagonistic hormones.

Androgenic steroids alone already inhibit ovulation, but after the cycle the hormonal background is completely altered, and the excess and then drop in estrogen prevents the regularity of the contraceptive effect.

It should be emphasized that a moderate and constant level of circulating estrogen exerts a negative feedback effect on LH secretion, while during the menstrual cycle a high level of estrogen exerts a positive feedback effect and stimulates LH secretion [6].

So it's important to wait for things to get back to normal before returning to regular contraceptive use. In any case, it is possible that continued use of the contraceptive makes the regularization process faster (I'm speculating here lol), and its post-cycle use also restores more quickly the levels of fat lost due to the use of androgens in certain regions that They are heavily influenced by estrogen, such as the breasts, thighs, buttocks, and unfortunately the belly as well.
