Can BCP lower fertility
| Fri, 10-15-2004 - 1:37pm |
Hello! I have been on ortho-tri-cyclen for about 5-6 years. I was wondering if anyone knew if being on the pill for so long could effect my fertility in the future. I've tried to do a little research but I can't seems to find anything. Anything would be helpful! Thanks in advace!


I don't think there is any credible evidence that combined contraceptives lower fertility. Depo can certainly delay its return, considerably in some women, but when coming off estrogen/progestin methods fertility usually returns within a month or two. Thanks for posting.
Good luck,
Jill
