No: You did not specify male or female. I will assume female. Fertility is not compromised, but delivery of a baby can be complicated.

Yes: Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpera is an autoimmune mediate destruction of platelets due to anti-platelet antibodies. This may predispose you to disruption of successful pregnancy as result of interruption of the vascular supply to the placenta, which prevents successful pregnancy.
