I was wondering if it was true that if you have been on the pill for a while, and you never before have had children, that it can affect your chances of getting pregnanat when you decide to.
If you have no fertility problems can the pill cause them, or make them worse???
Thanks!

There is a documented delay in getting pregant for women on the pills compared to women not taking the pills. This delay may be greater in women women > 30 year who have never given birth. But the good news is that the number getting pregnant in the end is almost identical. or despite the delay, there is no evidence of infertility. There is no increase in miscarriages or other problems with pregnancy. The pill does not cause fertility problems..

I'm 35 and was on the pill off & on for about 10 years. The last time was for 3 1/2 years. When my husband & I decided to stop preventing pregnancy and I quit taking them we didn't use any other birth control at all. After 6 months I went to the OB/GYN for a check up and to start the infertility tests only to be told that I was pregnant! It was very young, only enough to show up on the test. So far I've had no problems at all.
My doctor didn't seem surprised at all that it happened so quickly, even though it was my first.
I know my luck won't hold for everyone but at least you know it is possible. Good luck to you.
