Why doesn’t birth control make menopause come later?

288 viewsBiologyOther

I’m curious why women on birth control don’t get menopause later than women who don’t take it.

Doesn’t birth control stop you from ovulating? Does that mean you’re not actually releasing an egg, therefore not running out of them faster?

(Sorry if this sounds really dumb)

No. This country really needs sex ed. Hormonal birth control alters your hormone levels so your body doesn’t respond and let a fertilized egg attach to the utural wall. Only form of birth control thst would stop ovulation would be one where the ovaries are removed.
