"I have been taking birth control pills for several years. Could chronic use affect my fertility?"

Continuous use of the contraceptive pill is safe and does not affect fertility. It is appropriate to take the pill for 3 months followed by a 7-day break. When you decide to have children, there may be a delay in the return of your menstrual cycle after stopping the pill, but this is normal. Some women may take a few cycles to return to their regular menstruation pattern. Feel free to reach out for more information.
