I am curious! If a woman takes birth control and her period is completely stopped, does that mean she keeps her eggs and they can kinda add on to her ';life length'; of her period?! Basically making menopause occur later- since she would still have eggs in her ovaries, during the real time menopause would start in her life?!
Please excuse my ignorance- I am rather curious, and always wondered about this. I currently don't have a doctor to ask! Thanks! :)If you are taking birth control and it stops your period and release of eggs.. what happens to those eggs?!?
we are born with millions of eggs in our ovaries
Birth control prevents ovulation which is the release of the eggs that travel down the Fallopian tubes and into the uterus.
since you don't ovulate on birth control the eggs are never released so they just absorb back into the body and continue to live in the ovaries
No it will not add on any period time, and doesn't effect when menopause will occur
Good question thoughIf you are taking birth control and it stops your period and release of eggs.. what happens to those eggs?!?
she wont ';keep'; them. they are never produced.
think of it like a chicken, the eggs they dont lay that week they dont keep for a later time. they dont exist.
birth control stops the production, therefor making pregnancy a not.
menopause i believe will occur when it wants to, age, and whether or not you took birth control i dont think has any affect of when it happens.
however i have heard it generally comes earlier for woman who have not had children, and later for woman who have.
i go to a health clinic every month... I was told, that the eggs just kind of die away. You are born with a certian number of eggs, there are millions, and the numbers arn't certian, but when you dont ovulate those eggs away they just die.
I dint know the answer,but I was wondering the same thing. I will keep a eye on your answers.
same as above poster.. sorry
