A member asked:

If i don't get my period as long as i'm on birth control does that mean i'll never have a baby?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: If you stop your birth control, the cycles will eventually return and you can get pregnant based or your original capability as if you were never on birth control.

Pill - menses length: Not necessarily. The best indicator of pregnancy is ovarian function not menses length. Best to get an ovarian reserve evaluation.
