Not able to become pregnant after years on birth control........?

Question

I have heard that after being on birth control for years like 5 or more, it can be very hard to get pregnant when you want to. Do you know anything about this? Have you experienced problems? I have been on birth control for about a year, and hope to plan a family after college in a few years, but don't want to have problems.

Answer 1

You should continue to take your b.c pills with regular gyn check ups for at least three years before giving your body a rest.  If you are having no problems and discuss this with your doctor and choose to continue that is a personal decision only you ca make.

When you are ready to have a family you will need to discuss this also with the G.P.

I hope this has helped you-Good Luck

Answer 2

The depo shot can delay you ability to get pregnant after stopping treatment for 6 months to 1 year, but that is the only type of birth control that I know of that can interfere with that, but again, only for up to a year.

Answer 3

that is not true, birth control pills do not cause fertility problems later on in life, if that was the case so many women would not be getting pregnant WHILE taking them. Discuss this matter with your Dr, do some research on the matter and hopefully this will answer some of your questions

Answer 4

Yeah if you're still on it while trying to be pregnant.

Answer 5

You may not be able to become pregnant in the first couple of months after coming off and maybe a little longer than that. But to make you sterile no I don't think so. If you have extended problems after that then it more than likely a problem that existed  before and outside of birth control.

Answer 6

You should be fine, birth control should not hurt your chance of getting pregnant. If you find you have a hard time becoming pregnant talk to obgyn they may suggest fertility drugs or you may have another biological problem. This is most likely a roomer as birth control treats conditions where the inability to have kids is an issue.
