Does birth control make you sterile?

can birth control pills make you unable to ever have a child?

Answer #1

No… there are some things that may make you temporarily infertile (the depo shot sometimes takes a while before you return to regular fertility) but as far as they’ve been tested none of the birth contols make you infertile…

Answer #2

not true! My doctor said I became sterile due to my oral contraceptive. I was very young when I started taking them (15.) I always was underweight and I believe the amount of hormone in the pills was more than my body could handle. I have not ovulated for over a year, nor have I had a period. The provera pills haven’t made my period return either. Fun, and a common malfunction of stopping your pill.

Answer #3

STEPH = that depends on the type of contraception.

NO you wont become sterile.

Answer #4

Nope. You have to be off birth control for like 3-4 months before being able to conceive though.
