As the contraceptive pill stops eggs being released, does this mean it can be used to extend fertility?

For example, if the pill is taken for 10 years, does this mean that the womans fertility is then increased by 10 years?

No, it stops the eggs from being released by screwing with your hormone level so that your body thinks its pregnant. Your body still ages and will go thru menopause whenever......

Unfortunately, the answer is no. The Pill does not extend a woman's fertility.Every woman is different, and just as fertility is higher in some women and lower in others, the length is different as well.

No. the ovaries contains houndreds of thousands of eggs, onlt a few hundred actually get used throughout the our child-bearing life. Menopause doesn't start by the running out of eggs, it starts when the eggs start to die off (with age- he large majority of the time) and those eggs aren't as strong and releases less hormones (because there old) etc. The life span of the eggs that do actually develop is thought to be genetically programed.The pill has no effect on the age of menopause. Also the pill doesn't tell your body it's pregnant. The pill (sorta) recreates the hormones your body makes when you ovulate, the message via hormones goes to the brain which tells your ovaries not to ovulate (produce and release an egg).
