A member asked:

Is ovulation / fertility at its peak after birth control?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No: Being on birth control does not change - improve or worsen - your fertility. No peak. Birth control pills are sometime used in fertility treatments, largely for scheduling. Good wishes.
