Does contraception affect your fertility long term? It’s a question we often get asked!
Katy and I are joined by Dr Fran from The Lowdown. The Lowdown is a research platform for women’s health. It enables women to review and research their health conditions, symptoms and medications so they can make more informed decisions.
This includes contraception, fertility, peri- menopause, PCOS and Endo. Today we are discussing the impact of contraception on fertility and how to prepare yourself when you’re on contraception for your future fertility.
We discuss:
- Recommendations of what to think about before you come off contraception
- The importance of prenatal vitamins and what the NHS guidelines recommend
- Issues about coming off the different forms of contraception.
- Changing your form of contraception as part of your family planning
- The difference in hormonal contraceptions for the time it takes for cycles to return.
- At what point do you start investigations if you have problematic cycles after contraception
- Ways to support your cycle when you come off contraception.
- Ways you can get support through the Lowdown
