I do know that when I was BC (Yasmin and Yaz), my "go for it" attitude diminished. I was always fatigued and SCARED. I proved 3 times that BC affected me not only in climbing but in running (I couldn't push myself). I attributed to one or both factors: Yas has a diuretic effect and BC has been proven to inhibit testosterone (which affects mental and physical energy, as well as muscle growth). I wish there were more studies on BC and athletics.
Oy. Not excited to hear this, though of course I know every woman is different. I just got a prescription for BC for the first time (I'm 30). My doc is starting me on a very low dose pill, so we'll see. These are exactly the kinds of things I don't want to deal with. I've got a half marathon race tomorrow and then I'll be filling the scrip and starting next week. Interested to see if I experience athletic-related side effects.
