Anyone has any experiences taking st. johns wort in pills or drinking the tea while on BCP ? I know it will affect it so you can become pregnant, but what other effects can it have ( I don't worry about getting pregnant ) , break trough bleeding, etc ?

Yes, St. John's wort would reduce effectiveness of the BC's.
There may be withdrawal bleeding. Seems most of the BC actions would be lost...why bother using them at all then? Here is a list to consult about other medications etc with St.John's Wort: http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactio...hn-s-wort.html
