Hi Rock Happy. is there a way she could get the same effect naturally? Im not opposed so much on religious pricipal, but moreso on a health principle. Would you have any knowledge of ulternative treatments? A combination of vitamines diet and exercise for example? or have the corrected some or the more hazardous effects of the pill in the last 20 years. Thanks. 👍

Well, this is not a medical forum. Ovulation is a complex topic, and the OP has not shared much info, as she was not seeking medical advice. In broad terms, the first thing to look at is her general health. Women who are severely underweight, or who are very athletic often do not ovulate. If this is not that case, then a full workup by a gynecologist and, if indicated, an endocrinologist would be the best approach. I strongly advocate lifestyle and holistic approaches to any medical issue before using drugs. This thinking is becoming more mainstream in standard medical thinking.
 
I have not yet contacted that organization that I was referred to yet. I am almost 100% certain that I won’t have any other alternative. I may just go off of birth control completely and see if my body can get itself working again on it’s own.

I think that would be best. Try improve your diet, chart your cycles and most likely your body will go back to it’s natural rhythm.

Holly, please seek the advice of a medical expert. If finances are an issue, PM me as I have some ideas which may be helpful. I didn’t see your age in any of these posts, but unless you are perimenopausal, extremely athletic, or very low body fat for some other reason, you should find out what the cause of your problem is. It could be serious. Some female problems advance very rapidly, so you should not put it off.

Birth control pills don’t cause abortion. They prevent ovulation so they can’t cause abortion.
I’m not saying it’s right, it’s still morally wrong, but to say that it causes abortion is to the best of my knowledge incorrect.

Not true. And it’s worth looking into… you don’t have to believe me. Research it. Birth control pills release the sticky lining in the Uterus so that it’s slippery. WHEN a baby is conceived - and it CAN be conceived… it simply cannot attach to the Uterus and aborts. This is how birth control CAUSES abortions.

I really don’t have the same appreciation for sarcasm as perhaps others do. Not funny. Rude. I was not aware you needed to be a doctor to answer this question. Please curtail the rudeness. I have a boundary there. Thank you.

I have researched it. They prevent ovulation so there cannot be conception. There is no ovulation because the hormones trick the body into thinking the woman is already pregnant so no new ovum is released.

I wasnt being sarcastic. Where is your source for your claims. You are making some serious claims here with no back up.

See link above. If the Priests for Life are wrong / lying, then I will stand corrected. Doubtful, but not impossible. Otherwise, you may be seeing the truth for the first time. Birth control pills do not always prevent ovulation.
 
I learned yesterday that any physician who is formally trained in the Creighton Method of NFP must commit to never again prescribing bcp, whether they are Catholic or not. So those docs are going to be seriously motivated to find answers that do not involve questionable hormone therapy. That might be a place to start looking.

The exact same thing happens with NFP too - except far more often due to the fact that the Pill prevents ovulation while NFP doesn’t.

So that makes for a poor argument against contraception.

I have been biting my tongue here because I did not want to weigh in on a medical discussion, but there is some partial information being conveyed here. Just to clear things up, the most commonly used birth control pills work by several mechanisms at once:
  1. Ovulation is interrupted
  2. Sperm are less effective if they do reach an egg.
  3. Cervical mucous is increased to reduce the motility of sperm.
  4. The uterine wall becomes inhospitable to a fertilized egg.
Item 4 is what is being referred to as an abortion. This is really straying off of the OP’s topic. I just wanted to clear this up.

Fair enough. Are these Priest qualified physicians? And what post is the link. Im not trying to be sarcastic, I think I am missing it. Thank you in advance. 🙂 BTW I am not a proponent of the pill or condoms. But for other reasons than religious. I think there may be a link to these horrible things your talking about, especially with long term use, But I would love to see an unbiased Physicians opinion. I got an unbiased opinion when I got my vacsectomy years ago, And I know there is an increased risk of cancer and such from this procdure. but I got my info from the doctor preforming the surgery. Not a priest. I was not a Catholic back then for one thing. 😉

So the pill is somewhat like a chemical condom? Interesting. Any how your correct. Personally I dont think the OPs intent is to stop pregnancy, just get herself more regular. Hopefully its not needed, but It would be great if she got a qualified Physician to check her our first. And if needed, not long term. 🙂
