No: Bcp do not affect your fertility. If you had irregular cycles before the bcp, then you will almost certainly have them when you end the pill. The irregular cycles could indicate irregular ovulation and that can affects your fertility rate. Talk with your gyn or pcp. We have inexpensive and safe treatments for this problem. Best wishes.

Probably not: The oral contraceptive pill does not cause infertility by making you have irregular cycles. If you previously had irregular cycles the pill will regulate you while you're on them. Usually once you go off the pill though the irregularity may resume due to a hormonal imbalance.
