You won't : If your doctor put you on any kind of birth control when you are interested in being pregnant, you and that doctor have a significant misunderstanding. You should talk with the doctor about your concerns.

Birth control: You won't get pregnant right away, but your doctor will put you on Clomid (clomiphene) to jump start your periods.
