If some contraceptives stop your period, what happens to the egg?

Question

Can your uterus just keep it to use later in life? Would you never go through menopause?

In: 78

Answer 1

Unfortunately no, you don’t get to keep the eggs that you aren’t ovulating. Basically, your ovaries still select an egg and begin forming a follicle to ovulate the egg, but without the correct hormones the follicle doesn’t mature and finish the process.

You still lose eggs, those eggs just don’t get a chance to be fertilized.
