Does extended use of oral birth control decrease fertility? ive been on for 6 years and fear continuing b/c i want children in the future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extended use of oral birth control does not decrease fertility. Stay healthy, maintain BMI between 18.5-24.9 and live a healthy low stress lifestyle. Just before discontinuing birth control and prior to trying to conceive, you can schedule a preconception appointment with an Obgyn. You can read more about it here in this link. https://www.cdc.gov/preconception/index.html. Use condoms prevent std.
