A member asked:

I have stopped taking the sugar pill and someone told me that this can cause fertility problems when i start trying.. is this true?

Do you: Mean the inert pills as part of your month of contraception. If so, what you've heard is totally absurd. How can a small amount of inert ingredients cause infertility? Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
