What Is Birth Control?

Hormonal birth control pills are a great option for women who are not ready to get pregnant. Hormonal birth control pills keep women from ovulating, as long as they do not miss a dose of their pill. This is the way that the pill prevents pregnancy. For many women, the pill is a great birth control option because it is inexpensive, and easy to take.

Most women do not have any major side effects from the pill and after visiting the doctor, they don’t have to go back very many other times except if they need refills. However, one concern that many women have is what will happen to them after they get done taking the pill, and if it will have long term effects on their fertility. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here

Going Off The Pill

Within a few short days after going off the pill, a woman’s body begins to return to normal, and all of the hormones from the pill will be gone from her body. The pill doesn’t last very long in the body, and that is why a woman can get pregnant if she misses just a single dose of the pill. The body should resume ovulation normally on it’s own after the pill’s hormones leave the body.

 

How long that will take, is another question. Some women go right back to normal ovulation and menstruation just a few weeks after going off the pill, but for some women it can take months, and in rare cases, even longer, Women should remember that any fertility or ovulation related problems they had before starting the pill will usually resume again once they stop taking birth control.

What To Remember

It’s important to remember that research shows no lasting effects when it comes to birth control pills and future fertility. However, it is always a good idea to talk with your doctor about your plans to go off of your form of birth control, and you can usually get some good advice on the best way to do so.

If you are planning to get pregnant right after going off of birth control pills, your doctor might advise you to try to lose or gain weight first, make dietary or lifestyle changes, or start on a prenatal vitamin. These things are just examples of things that can make conceiving easier once you actually stop taking birth control. Make sure to discuss your particular situation and any questions or concerns about this with your doctor.

Now if you have been taking the Depo Provera birth control shot, your chances of getting pregnant after depo are much more unlikely. That is because this hormonal shot is only taken every 3 months, rather than daily, so there grows a build-up in your body of a hormone that inhibits ovulation. Therefore, your ovulatory cycles to get pregnant may be delayed after stopping the shot.
