Default Do you take BC pills?

Hi, Katrine. I have been LCing for 7 months now and it wasn't until I stopped taking my BC pills that my BP finally started to come down. I have a digital cuff at home and so take my BP frequently in all sorts of situations and it has been pretty consitent at about 140-155/85-95. Not good. Until last year it had always been low, then I got sick and it went up and never came down again.

I expected it to lower when I started LCing and it didn't. However, about 1 1/2 months ago I quit taking my BC pills, and a few weeks ago my BP started coming down. Now I'm measuring in the 120s/high 80s.

Hope this helps.
