title: [Contraception and subsequent fertility. General review on the reversibility of oral contraception].
abstract: We have carried out a general review of the problem of reversing the contraceptive mehtods using oestrogen-pregestogen contraceptives. We have very carefully reviewed the onset of long cycles showing clearly that they occur more easily in women who have started with irregular cycles, as do post-pill amenorrhoea cases. Spontaneous abortions seem to occur just as often after the pill as in the general population and the alarm that was raised by D. Carr seems to us to be very exaggerated. The infants are normal, have a lower perinatal mortality when we take into account the patients who use this method and there are no more congenital abnormalities than in other patients.
