A member asked:

Can taking bcp lead to problems in pregnancy and miscarriages in the future?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Birth control pills do not affect fertility. Your fertility is based on your genetics and age. Your ability to conceive decreases with age, therefore the longer you prevent conception, the more difficult it can be to conceive.
