[color:"purple"]But I am back. I am wondering who is using what birth control pills for the regular protocol, and where you have ordered them. I know where to get the domperidone, but I can not seem to find the right b/c's there? Or maybe I am not looking at the right spot,lol.

I think either Yasmin in the US or Ortho in Canada (we can't get Yasmin here) is recommened because they both have higher levels of testosterone which is what is needed....

Hope this helps...

Sorry - didn't noticed you also asked where to get get them - I got a prescription from my family doctor and then filled it at a pharmacy - but we can't order from global drugs here in canada...not sure if you can get b/c pills from them anyways...

I got my bcps at Global Drug, along with my domperidone. Of course, I am using the Diane, which is no longer recommended, but I am pretty sure they have the Yasmin there, too.

Actually, none of the medications contain testosterone, that's primarily a hormone associated with males. The birth control pills we recommend for the protocols contain ethinyl estradiol (estrogen) and norethindrone (progesterone).

We recommend Ortho 1/35 because it has provided the most consistent results. It's available in both the US and Canada with a prescription.

Best,
