Is it true the longer you take birth control the harder it will be to have children in the future?

No, but it does increase your risk for breast and ovarian cancers.Is it true the longer you take birth control the harder it will be to have children in the future?
My Gyno (who is a good one) believes it takes a few months to a year for your body to return to a normal cycle and therefore some women take longer to get preg after using the pill. That's his suggestion....however!





I was on the pill from age 18-30. Never a break. I now have 2 kids: got pregnant one month after stopping the pill. Baby #2 was conceived 3 months after stopping the pill. However my cycle was very reliable i.e I've never missed a period.





Women who have irregular cycles (missed periods) may take longer conceiving after stopping the pill.Is it true the longer you take birth control the harder it will be to have children in the future?
not true! of course once you get off it adn try to have children its going to take longer than if you were never on it because your body has to readjust its own hormone balance so you can once again achieve pregnancy. i've heard it takes up to a year...more if you've had the depo shot which in my medical opinion shouldn't even be an option, its so dangerous to your overall long term health.
I hope thats not true. Whered u hear that?
not true at all.
no its not . but i heard that if you use the birth control shot it could be harder to get pregnant . but i got pregnant with in a month after stopping the pill
Totally untrue.
i'm not sure
No not usually. If you have been taking the contraceptive injection it may take a while for your periods to return so you might not be able to get pregnant straight away.
I have heard that using bc pills etc can screw your cycle up for a long time. If you decide you want to have children it could take up to a year to get your cycle going normally again without it.
You may have difficulty conceiving in the first couple of months after coming off the pill, but some women will ovulate as soon as their last pill free week ends.


The pill prevents you from ovualting, so those eggs remain stored in your ovaries and released later, meaning that you have more eggs available than someone who has been having natural periods.
No. From what i was made to understand, birth control stops you from ovulating. you still shed the uterine lining but thats it. and once you get off the pill you begin ovulating again. but if you have concerns you should speak with your doctor.
I think it depends on the strength of the dosage you're on, and how long it takes your system to eliminate it and restore your natural hormone balance. I was told between 3-6 months, but got pregnant in 2....so....so much for the guesstimate!!
