A member asked:

I've been taking contraceptive pills for 6 yrs, what if i stopped then got pregnant, would there be any abnormality on my child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There is no evidence that use of hormonal contraceptives in the past , then stopped, will cause defects in future offspring.
