studies have not shown any negative effects on fertility from using oral contraceptives.
on the pill 2-3 yrs stopped for 9 mo & wonder if using them for 1-3 mo's will affect my fertility when i try to conceive. i plan to try & conceive in the next year or 2. i took the pill for 3 years consistently & have not been taking it for least 8-9 months. i am wondering if i should be worried about any negative effects from using the pill (low-dose version) for a few months or off & on for 12-24 months. will using the pill off & on have any negative consequences when it comes to my fertility (32 yrs old) it did take me quite a while ( ~3-4 months at least) to return to normal cycles after stopping the pill.
