Many women worry about fertility after discontinuing birth control pills, though statistics show that the majority conceive within a year. This concern stems from the pill masking fertility issues and the return of symptoms like painful periods. Misconceptions exist about infertility being solely a women's issue, when male fertility problems contribute to over half of cases. Additionally, while fertility declines with age, there's no abrupt drop at age 35 as often believed, reinforcing the need for a broader understanding of fertility across genders and ages.
It can take around three menstrual cycles for someone's expected fertility to return once they stop taking the pill, but there's no long-term impact.
Many people don't realise that they have a condition that affects their fertility until they stop taking the pill and the symptoms are no longer masked.
Since women carry pregnancies, we often think of fertility as a female problem, resulting in tremendous guilt and stress in women.
Fertility decreases every year but there isn't a fertility cliff that women fall off at age 35.
