#10 – Not using hormonal birth control because you think it will affect fertility

Let’s make it clear for you, there are two categories of people. Those who believe that taking birth control for a long period of time, especially in your 20s and early 30s can make it hard for you to conceive a baby when you are ready to welcome it into your life, and others who think that you shouldn’t stop taking your hormonal birth control because it will affect your fertility.

You must be confused and you don’t know with which category to go. Well, they are both wrong.
According to White, the birth control or contraception methods don’t alter anything and only do their job which is not allowing any possible pregnancies to happen as long as you are using them.

White also added that many patients were wondering what happens to the eggs if the woman is not ovulating for fifteen years. White explains that the quality of the eggs goes down over time. This means that if you are not ovulating for 15 years, the eggs are not going to be saved for you in your mid-thirties.

Unfortunately, eggs are a use them or lose them very simply. Therefore it’s not birth control that affects your fertility rather it’s biology. It’s just that you are getting older.

#11 – You stop taking birth control because you think that you “can’t” get pregnant

Imagine how a tiny misinterpretation of your doctor’s words can lead you to unwanted pregnancy. Many women refuse to take birth control because they think they can’t get pregnant or rather because they mistake the word shouldn’t to the word can’t and fail to make a difference between the two.

When your doctor says you can’t get pregnant, what he actually means is you shouldn’t get pregnant, especially if you are suffering from a chronic disease. But what you hear is you “can’t” get pregnant. You stop your birth control and you end up pregnant.

Darling, next time don’t interpret things in your own way, rather see your doctor and talk more about it to find out if you really can’t or just shouldn’t.
