Search Results: effects of birth control

I was reading a novel where this exact scenario took place. Normal women have their menstrual cycle once every month, sometimes sooner or later. Well a recently developed techology can change all that. Using a simple and cheap shot, you now only get one cycle per year. It will be no better or worse than your current cycles, but you know a couple weeks of advance when you'll start ovulating by feelings in your body. However, this change is permanent until menopause. You can still have kids, but now there's maybe a two to three week window every year. If you do have kids, the shot will not effect them, and you can still freeze your eggs if you want, but this is costly and unnatural. Anyways, would you take the shot fully knowing you only have once chance per year to become a mom the rest of your life? Would the lack of periods and not having to use birth control methods make it worth it? Some women with normal cycles already are haing trouble trying to have kids in the first place, what if you started having those same complications but now with the shot making things even harder?
