    I actually feel more energetic during that time of the month (the fatigue is 2 or 3 days before). I take Vega Preworkout. It's Vegan and has no funky ingredients (I have food allergies). It gives me enough oomph to get moving and going and once I'm in a workout the endurance athlete in me kicks in and I can go from there.

    It depends on the issue thats causing your fatigue..
    Vitamin Def? You need multi-vit
    Muscle breakdown? You need Amino Acids, more protein

    You stated it's birth control so it could be your hormones..your body could be finding it's rhythm again. Not sure. I'd probably research the BC see if anyone else had the same issues...but for me I take Cellucor Performance Aminos (GNC-tastes like koolaid), multivitamins (w/iron and calcium added), whey protein AND glucosamine. :D All of these to help battle my fatigue due to Anemia.

    Agreed. As I read it I kept thinking... yes.

    before you start taking an iron supplement read what is in your pill first. I once took a pill with iron in the week non hormone pills. You don't want to take too much and then end up wit constipation cramps on top of menstrual and feel even more sluggish due to the constipation. Call your doc they will have the best answers for you. I find it helps to go to bed even just a half hour early during that time of month helps too
