Is it true that the pill makes you infertile?

It is a common misconception that taking birth control pills can make someone infertile. However, birth control pills do not have any lasting effects on fertility. It is normal for it to take a few months for your menstrual cycle to regulate after stopping the pill, but this does not indicate a permanent change in fertility. Whether you have been taking a contraceptive for a few months or several years, it does not have an impact on your ability to conceive.
