Birth control pills do not cause
infertility! OCPs (oral contraceptive
pills) only cause a temporary lapse in
fertility while a woman takes them and
during the process of withdrawal from
them. Temporary infertility is an expected
side effect of birth control pills and it
usually lasts a few months. The maximum
period for establishing full fertilization
and the ability to ovulate is 2 years.
