Can you go through the menopause while on pill?

The short answer is: no.

Birth control pills contain hormones that prevent ovulation, the process by which eggs are released from the ovaries. This prevents pregnancy. Menopause is the natural process by which a woman's body stops producing eggs and she is no longer able to get pregnant. So, if you are taking birth control pills, you cannot go through menopause.

However, it is important to note that some women may experience symptoms similar to menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, while taking birth control pills. This is because birth control pills can cause changes in hormone levels, which can lead to these symptoms. However, these symptoms are usually not as severe as the symptoms of menopause and they will go away once you stop taking the pills.

If you are experiencing symptoms similar to menopause while taking birth control pills, it is important to talk to your doctor to rule out any other causes.
