I was put on a BCP because of acne 5 years
ago. The acne got better (though did not
entirely go away). I know this can be
from a hormonal imbalance. Will that
affect my chances of getting pregnant in
the future?

Yes it could. Besides the acne, you could
also have other health problem that may or
may not have shown up yet. I couldn't
find a link on the net to anything that
was very specific that you could read, but
the general theme is that you will
probably have to work harder than most if
you want to try to become pregnant.
The acne could be one of the least of the
worries, because it is only a side effect
of the imbalance, and you could have PCOS,
hyperthyroidism, Cushings, etc.... There
are really too many factors that can
trigger the imbalance, but as I said, it
isn't impossible to concieve with
something like PCOS, but it would be
difficult.
I will PM a couple links to you that I
found that might help you a little more...

i also have had hormonal imbalance, since
a really young age. i learned recently
that i am estrogen dominant, after seeking
help from my naturopath when dh and i
could not conceive after 1 year...
symptoms can include, but are not limited
to
-sore/cystic breasts
-clotted periods
-hormonal acne
-unexplained weight gain (targeted in
lower abdomen and hips...)
-infertility
-pms
i am trying to reverse my condition
naturally by getting more aerobic
exercise, eating better, and using natural
progesterone to supplement what my body is
not producing. hopefully this will
increase chances of conceiving...
