Hormonal BCP; hows fasting while on the Pill or Patch?

I’ve never used hormonal BC methods mostly. It tricks your body into thinking its pregnant. How does it mesh with IF and EF? Thanks

Answer

I’m on a hormonal IUD.

It’s harder, not going to pretend it isn’t. I think the big bad fasts may be especially difficult as your body is screaming at you sometimes, but if properly distracted and no real temptations are around 72 hours is doable. At that point I often feel I could go longer, but bc plays out differently for everyone.
