Can your uterus just keep it to use later in life? Would you never go through menopause?
In: 78
So…
In typical ovulation, the body recruits “follicles” on each ovary that contain immature eggs (mine has about 25 per month). Body picks one or two to be the dominate follicle and release a mature egg.
On certain types of contraception pills,like those with progesterone or estrogen, body still recruits follicles but no egg is released. On birth control your body still recruits follicles but doesn’t release an egg. They just kinda…get absorbed? Progesterone makes your body think it’s pregnant and no egg gets released. A drop in progesterone induced a period, so stopping the pill for a week has you get a “period” but it’s technically a withdraw bleed.
I only know this after years of infertility lol. Wish they taught me this in sex ed!
