TTC After Birth Control
Did you recently -- or some time ago -- come off birth control to TTC? What birth control were you using? Have your periods/cycles returned to your normal? Are you waiting a few months, or trying right away?

Can BC hormones hurt your unborn baby?

Posted by: mbelcher on Fri Jan 15, 2010

I've been told yes by some people and no by others. But I've been unable to find any REAL information on it. Can hormones from BC cause miscarriages, birth defects, low birth rate, or anything else that I wouldn't want happening to my baby? I ask because it was recommended to me to be off BC for 6 months before TTC to make sure all the synthetic hormones are out of my system. Is that really necessary? Is there any evidence that those hormones could cause an undesirable effect if I conceived while they were still in my body?
