I have been married now for almost 3 years, I am 22 years old (no children).
When m husband and I married we decided not to have chidren in the near
future, and so I started taking birth control pills, and have continued to
take them. I am not planning to have children, at least for another 2 years.
I have been told that birth control pills hurt your chances of getting
pregnant and that they can cause infertility. Is there some truth to that.
I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thanks a lot!!!
This I have never heard, but from my own experience, and that of others I have known, it hasnt hurt at all. I was on them from the age of 15 - 19, became pregnant at 20 and again at 21(just 2 months after first was born).
