Customer: replied 1 year ago. Approximately how many months would you recommend being on birth control pills to regulate your hormones because I would like to start trying to have a baby soon so I want to be on the pill for as short a period of time as possible. Thanks. Expert: Dr. David replied 1 year ago.
Very-low-dose birth control pills not only prevent pregnancy but may also have some health benefits. If you're in your 40s and are still having periods, you could still get pregnant. Very-low-dose birth control pills protect you from pregnancy. They can help regulate your periods if they are heavy or irregular. Very-low-dose birth control pills also may prevent bone loss, which helps protect you from osteoporosis.
