sorry what I meant was: do those women who started the pill in their twenties
and took it continuously for say 10-15 years, delay their menopause date as
the pill will have stopped their ova being used up at the naturel rate??

COC do not delay the menopause but they are are form of HRT.
Because of their oestogenic effects you would expect them to protect against
osteoporosis after the age of 50but no one has done the studies.
In the UK the COC are not licensed for use beyond the age of 50. >>
I've always considered that a combined COC/HRT preparation would be ideal for
the perimenopausal age group, and in the years coming up to it. How come one
has not surfaced on the market?
