Hi Ladies!

I just wanted to come here and ask a question. Unfortunately, I don’t really have anyone to talk to regarding this and I am not sure that my current doctor is very knowledgeable regarding the ketogenic diet as most people think it is “bad news.”

I just was prescribed birth control as I am sexually active, but I also just started the ketogenic diet as of about a week ago. I am supposed to start my birth control on the 12th of this month (January 2019). I was told recently from someone that the keto diet can alter your hormones and menstrual cycle and that many women have become pregnant while on the ketogenic diet. Some would say that they even have “increased fertility” while on the keto diet.

Now, I’m not sure if any of this is true. I have been trying to research it, but I just wanted to post in here as well and see if anyone else knows about this theory or not. With my birth control, this will be my first time going on the pill and I’m starting to take the pill to be even safer than I already am trying to be. I am nervous that the keto diet may affect the effectiveness of the pill. I’m not sure if this is a logical or dumb theory or not!

Thanks in advance for the help. I wish I had someone whom I could trust and go to with this in real life! I really appreciate the time and the help for anyone who responds! Happy New Year! ☺️❤️
