Will overdose contraceptive Pills Affect Sexual Life

I have a guy friend who accidently consumed a one month supply of contraceptive pills when he was 5 years old. He is now 20 something years old.

My question is will this cause any effect to his sexual life? Will he be able to have children?

Hi there. Oral contraceptives contain estrogen and progesterone, which are hormones produced by women. They would only affect a man if consumed regularly, and in large amounts. And once stopped, their effects vanish pretty quickly. Consuming them at age 5 should have no affect 15 years later.
