Is it true that contraceptive pills can belate menopause? As they say there are a fixed number of eggs in the ovaries, when all the eggs are released from ovaries menopause occurs. Pills prevent release of new eggs so they slows down the process?

No .Pills do not prevent release of new eggs it just prevents fertilization between egg and sperm.So whether you are on contraceptives or not menopause will occur around the same time as it should occur

Vu is incorrect. Birth control pills prevent ovulation so an egg is not released. Plan B, known as the “morning after pill,” helps to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
A woman will continue to menstruate as long as she is on birth controll pills. Once an older woman comes off of BCP, she goes into menopause.
