Is it harmful for a person going through menopause to take a birth control pill?


I am getting married soon and want to start the pill. I have prescription for it. However, I started missing my periods and have had tests that show that I am starting menopause.

No it is not harmful...but you might want to talk to your doctor about alternatives. Birth control pills are hormone based (as I'm sure you know) and menopause is a hormonally challenging time and there is one school of thought that says that it is not ideal to further mess around with hormones, and another which says it helps moderate menopause symptoms. You may want to use an IUD instead, and may want to look into the Mirena IUD which can be left in situ until you have come out the other side of menopause and it also stop your period, which you may or may not like.

I would do some research, talk to your doctor, consider your options and then enjoy.

ps congrats on your wedding, and if you do start bc pills make sure you do it so you are not having your period on your wedding day or honeymoon :)
