Hi,
I have not read any clinical studies or medical information regarding hormonal contraception (such as birth control pills) causing a loss of lean muscle mass, or prevention of gaining lean muscle mass.
Some women may experience slight weight gain as a side effect when using hormonal contraception, but you can prevent this with your current physical activity.
All combination pills include the same hormones, and have the same side effects. You can talk with your doctor about your concerns, too!
