We gathered some of the most common \u2014\u00a0 and not so common \u2014 questions about birth control. And we\u2019ve got answers for you.<\/p>\n

Popular questions and answers about your period and birth control<\/h2>\n

Your unanswered questions about periods, birth control, and ovulation.<\/p>\n

Do you still ovulate on birth control?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s unlikely. Hormones play important roles in many of our bodily systems. The pill, the patch, the ring, and the birth control shot all suppress ovulation by blocking certain hormone signals that cause an egg to be released every month. This is why hormonal birth control is so effective at preventing pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on the IUD, however, you typically will ovulate. Hormonal IUDs work by making the uterine lining a hostile environment for a fertilized egg to implant into and copper IUDs are simply toxic to sperm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it really<\/em> safe to control if and when you get your periods?<\/h3>\n

In many cases, yes, it’s safe to skip a period. However, it’s best to speak with your healthcare provider before doing so.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has chosen to skip a family reunion can back us up on this: just because something regularly happens, doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re obligated to participate. Periods often are no exception. Menstruation<\/a> is part of how the body prepares for pregnancy, so if you’re not trying to get pregnant, you might not need to shed your uterine lining every month.<\/p>\n

Some healthcare providers discourage (or at least don’t recommend) purposefully skipping periods, so it’s important to speak with your provider about whether or not this would be right for you.<\/p>\n

Are IUDs and pelvic infections linked?<\/h3>\n

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) occurs when bacteria enter and infect the reproductive organs. Though individuals are at risk for bacteria to enter their vagina after an IUD<\/a> has been inserted, the risk is lower than commonly believed. Undetected and untreated STDs are more likely to put someone at risk for PID than an IUD insertion.<\/p>\n

Do you need birth control while breastfeeding?<\/h3>\n

Wasn\u2019t pregnancy fun? Want to do it again? Like, in a month? If your answer is no and your baby is still breastfeeding, it\u2019s a good idea to get on some form of birth control. Even though you may not be menstruating, as soon as three weeks after labor your body could start releasing an egg again. This makes you fertile! Speak to your healthcare provider to decide what\u2019s best for you.<\/p>\n
