Strange effect of birth control - April 26th 2022, 10:32 AM
Hi everyone,
I've been taking birth control pill for a month now. It contains:

2 mg chlormadinone acetate
and
0.03 mg ethinylestradiol.

I specifically wanted a pill with an antiandrogen (chlormadinone acetate is one), as I have problems with too high androgen, which may or may not be a result of NuvaRing that I used to use in the past.

Right now I have noticed that my skin and hair got more greasy. It's a surprise, since from an antiandrogenic substance I would expect either no changes, or less greasiness.

Do you think it's a cause for concern? Or perhaps that's too early to say (I used only one package of the pill so far)?

Thanks for your answers.
