A member asked:
Can being on the pill from early teen years cause ongoing fertility problems in your 20s? specifically yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol)
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The pill doesn't cause fertility problems by itself, and you can start ovulating (releasing an egg) again within weeks of stopping it. If a woman is given the pill for irregular cycles or polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos), when she stops the pill the pcos or other cause of irregular cycles still remains and may affect fertility. The pill doesn't prevent stds like chlamydia which can block tubes.

No.: Oral contraceptives are not associated with infertility, and are able to be taken from menarche (start of menses) to menopause, stopping only for childbearing. Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) has been associated with elevated potassium levels because of the type of Progesterone it contains.
