A member asked:

What will happen if a guy takes birth control pills?

Dr. Brian Nguyen answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Nothing: The amount of estrogen and progestin needed to give a man to overcome his natural testosterone is MUCH MUCH larger than that needed by a woman to prevent ovulation. This is not concerning unless he's taking pills consistently and daily.
