Research Notes on Birth Control Pills and Miscarriage


Many women worry about the effects of birth control pills on the body. Some even worry that if they become pregnant while on the pill, it might cause a miscarriage.1Some women may use birth control pills in an effort to purposely miscarry the fetus, although they are not effective in this manner.2

Fast Facts:

  • Taking the birth control pill does not increase the risk of miscarriages while on the pill.1
  • There is conflicting evidence about whether using the pill for a long term will have an effect on the risk of future miscarriages.1
  • It is still possible to get pregnant while taking the pill.1
