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.
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy through several mechanisms, mainly by stopping ovulation. If no egg is released, there is nothing to be fertilized by sperm, and the woman cannot get pregnant. Most birth control pills contain synthetic forms of two female hormones: estrogen and progestin. These synthetic hormones stabilize a woman's natural hormone levels, and prevent estrogen from peaking mid-cycle.
