Q:

Does the pill make you more likely to be infertile later in life?

 

A:

No, there is no evidence that birth control pill users have more infertility due to synthetic hormone exposure though not using condoms does increase the risk of chlamydia/gonorrhea which can cause infertility due to fallopian tube scarring.

Short term there may be a delay in resuming normal ovulation after using birth control pills.
