discussion title:
Defunct eggs after coming off BC?
Hi ladies! I'm sure this isn't the first time this question has been asked and I imagine there are some cliche answers - but I'm hoping to get some solid evidence or evidence to the contrary.
I've been on BCP for my entire adult life. 15 years to be exact. I've read when you come off BC you can become pregnant immediately. And I'm just thinking... if my body has become accustom to not releasing an egg for 15 years and now all of a sudden it is to start releasing eggs... how can I know it's not going to release defunct eggs (atleast initially)!?!? I'm sure there are a lot of shriveled up eggs hanging out in there having not been released all this time. Heck, I'm not even sure my body will know how to select a HEALTHY and developed egg to release.
Is this crazy? Are there any studies or reports on this?
Thanks!
