What happens to my eggs if I'm on the birth control pill?!


Question: What happens to my eggs if I'm on the birth control pill!?
So I know that the birth control pill works by (among other things) stopping ovulation!. Here's my question: if I'm not releasing an egg once a month anymore, what's happening to them!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You say it correctly, it's stopping ovulation!. But the whole process of producing eggs is not stopped!. They are produced, and after they don't receive a hormone for ovulating they go in regression and die!. So you lose eggs every month!.

They don't stay in your ovary!.!.!.
Otherwise when you get off the pill at age 50, you would still get your period until you die!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your ovaries are full of eggs!. every month they go through a couple steps to reach maturity and be released!. If you are on the pill It may stop this from happening!. if you don't ovulate then the one that has reached maturity is reabsorbed by your body!.
The pill is multifaceted though!. It may stop ovulation!. It may make the cervical mucus inhospitable to sperm thus allowing it not to penetrate!. Or it may make the fertilized egg unable to implant in the lining of the uterus!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

they are not being created i guess!. Who knows!?!

This is just like asking, "my body is releasing eggs every month, but if i'm not getting pregnant, whats happening to my eggs!?"

It really doesnt matter!.!.!.!.does it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

They eventually hatch!.

Does anyone on here actually know anything at all about human reproduction!?

I like the medicine graduate's answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Absolutely nothing!. They just don't mature!. Women are born with tens of thousands of eggs!. They'll just stay where they are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
