my sister is a long time pill user. she has been on it since she was 18. Now at 35 she is worried that because of her long time use she is having problems getting pregnant. I told her it's not true. This is true isnt it?

It's true!Woman who uses pill for a very long time can no longer be pregnant. Pill can greatly affects the regularity of her menstrual cycle thus making her hard to conceived.

Sorry, but i disagree!Several studies have shown that women who stopped taking taking birth control pills still get pregnant because it has shown no effect on women's fertility.

Birth control pills do not cause infertility. All birth control pills uses the same type of estrogen. No adverse effect was found in all birth control pills even using it for a long period of time.

No, definitely it's not true. Myself, I've been using birth control pills after i delivered our first born baby for two years and when I stopped taking it for about a month, I got pregnant immediately.

There is no exact evidence that proved that birth control pills can affect fertility. If a woman wants to get pregnant, she will just stopped using the pill and soon will return her fertility.

Well, I guess the effects depends on the age of a woman who took the pills. If she's more than 35 years old when she decides to stopped and plan to have a baby, then conceiving would not anymore be easy or she will no longer conceive at all.

Im glad its not true coz ive been using BCP for a long time. My doctor also negated this rumor!


marc_west - May 20th, 2010 4:52 PM

the hormones int he pill are already present in the body so it should have no effect on fertility whatsoever. this is just old wives tales.

It is not advisable of using pills for a long time. The use of pills is just to make a space in giving birth, But not for a long period of time. This might make the reproductive organ no longer function as of its natural capabilities.
