The contraceptive pill is the most effective method to avoid pregnancy among the reversible ones. It is a hormonal contraceptive that uses progestins, a synthetic hormone that prevents ovulation and that produces a thickening of the cervical mucus in the cervix that prevents the entry of sperm. But what are the chances of getting pregnant after taking the contraceptive pill?
How to achieve pregnancy after the pill
Women who have taken the contraceptive pill have the same chances as the rest of getting pregnant. Hormonal contraceptives do not undermine the chances of achieving pregnancy when they stop using. Their contraceptive effects are only maintained while they are taken correctly, but when the woman suspends the treatment or forgets to take a dose, she recovers the fertility.
In general, women who have taken the pill take the same time to conceive a child as those who have used other contraceptive methods. Fertility is restored very quickly. Women who have taken the pill have the same chance of becoming pregnant as those who have never used a hormonal contraceptive method. The only hormonal contraceptive that can delay pregnancy is the injection of progestogen, which is applied quarterly. In this case, the normal ovarian function may take a little longer to normalize, close to a specific year, although it is sometimes restored earlier.The guidelines that women who have taken the pill to achieve pregnancy should follow are the same as those indicated for the rest. A preconceptional consultation is recommended to monitor your general health status, follow a healthy diet and start taking folic acid and iodine supplements at least three months after conception to avoid risks in the formation of the baby. Iodine prevents the hypothyroidism of the future baby and folic acid can help prevent certain neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
