A member asked:

I've had no menses. will this lower my fertility or is this anovulation okay since it is due to my birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: Not having a period while taking certain forms of birth control is not associated with later problems with fertility. Not having a period while you are not taking hormonal therapy could signal a serious medical problem.
