A member asked:
Doctor said it might be hard for me to have kids in the future. but have been on bc for a few years now. does birth control affect infertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not specifically: Being on BC basically overrides your own hormonal system while you take them. Once you stop your system goes back to your natural one. Depending how long you were taking BC and how old you are when you stop it could take a few cycles to get back to regular. But that can vary from person to person.
