I have taken saw palmetto for years, it helps my cramps, insomnia and androgenic tendencies I have as a female. I recently started birth control and wondered if I had to stop the saw palmetto for it to be effective. There seems little research out there.

So I wanted to ask if anyone may be using birth control and saw palmetto. If you have do you have the saw palmetto daily like I do? I'd ask my gynecologist but like most hmo doctors they do not know about alternative medicine!
