See answer: Melatonin can effect hormone levels in women, including changes in the levels of progesterone, estradiol, luteinizing hormone and thyroid levels, which can affect both ovulation and menstruation and cause problems with conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy. Bcps increase how much melatonin the body makes. Taking melatonin along with birth control pills might cause too much melatonin in the body.
