	Answer by Dr Arti Sharma (doctor) on Wed 16, Mar 2011 06:38am: Hello how are you?There is no official cut off age for woman with no risk factors.Women who smoke should stop the combined oral contraceptive pill by the age of 35 years as they are at increased risk of heart disease.As we get older the risks of heart disease increase and fertility falls.Moreover many pills are available in the market nowadays with lesser side effects and recommended at particular age.Consult a gynecologist before starting any birth control pill as she will suggest most suitable pill for you.Good luck.Regards.
