How do oral contraceptives work on the body?
The effective components of such drugs depressing way affect the functioning of the reproductive system of women. As a result, the ovulation process stops . The egg does not ripen and does not come out of the follicle, because of which fertilization is impossible. Thus the ovaries seem to be in a dormant state.
The thing is that the long duration of use of the OC causes a high probability that even after the drug has been withdrawn, a woman can not become pregnant for a long time. That's why doctors recommend taking breaks: 1 month after half a year of using OK. In this interval it is better to use mechanical means of contraception. It is not superfluous to go through ultrasound, visit a gynecologist.
When is possible the onset of pregnancy after the end of the intake of OK?
To be fair, it is worth noting that in some women pregnancy occurs one month after the abolition of birth control pills, i.e. during the next cycle. However, quite often many representatives of the fair sex experience difficulties of this kind. On this score, there is a hypothesis that the more a woman is years old, and the longer she used OK, the greater the probability of a collision with this kind of problem.
So, pregnancy after stopping oral contraceptives in women under 25 years comes in just 1-2 months, after 30 years - planning can drag on for a year or more. According to statistics, only 25% of women after pregnancy have a pregnancy in the first month after cancellation, 60% - for six months, 80% - for 12 months.
