A member asked:
Do you believe long term use of birth control pills can affect your ability to conceive or is it just age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No evidence of this: Anecdotally there are people who claim infertility due to prolonged contraceptive use. I can't say there are any definitive, controlled clinical studies that suggest or confirm this claim.
