.. if I were to get on the pill, will it regulate my periods? Furthermore, will it increase my chance of pregnancy if I were to stop taking it after about 6 months or so?

The pill does regulate your period. It controls your hormone levels for 3 weeks and the 4th week of pills is non-hormone so that's when you get your period. Very predictable periods for most people and lighter periods. Lo-dose pills can cause break-through bleeding in some people during those 3 weeks of dosing, but it works great for some. Once you stop taking the pill, your chances of getting pregnant are the same as they were before you started taking the pill. I've never heard that it can help you get pregnant after stopping it, though. When you stop taking the pill, your own body takes over hormone production and will probably behave as it did before you took the pill. Just my guess, you might want to talk to a gyno.

Yeah, the pill regulates the flow of hormones that control your menstrual cycles and lots of women are on the pill for that reason. Your chances of pregnancy will increase after you get off the pill but not to a unnatural level becuase your body will not think its pregnant and will ovulate (thats how the pill works) Ask a doctor for my info

it will regulate your periods but will not increase your chances of pregnancy, some women take over a year to get pregnant after stopping the pill

Depending on dosage, bc pills can indeed regulate menstrual cycles and are often used for that purpose.
You chances of pregnancy are not usually changed in any way if you stop using the pill after so short a time, long term use can cause considerable delay in normal ovulation after stopping it.

Yes the pill regulated my period so I know within a few hours of when it's coming and ending. It shouldn't increase your chances of pregnancy.

It will regulate your period. You will have it when you go off the pills (or on to a different pill) for one week each month. When you come off the pill it may cause you to be more fertile for a short time afterwards. The pill was originally used this way as a fertility pill, and then altered to a birth control pill.

YES you will have regular period cycles every 28 days on the dott
no it wont increase your chances of becoming pregnant after you stop taking them unless you become careless
i think the pill is a very good idea i have been on them for 11 months now and they work great for me
that is if you don't want children right away and want to be sure you don't become pregnant
that's my opion
just talk to your doctor first to make sure you take the right contraceptive for your hormonal level

Yes it starts a progesterone flow, which stops ovulation, ovulation is also known as the period, and without ovulation you can't get pregnant, and no it shouldn't increase your chances but be careful anyway.

it should regualte your periods along with other good things but there are also side effects. It shouldnt make a difference in your chances of getting pregnant once you stop taking it.
