Can time and contraceptives make me sterile or infertile if I have been taking them for a long time?

I started the contraceptive pill at the age of 13 with a menstrual cycle and 16 years continuously, and the IUD at the age of 21.

Hello Ma'am,

No, don't worry 😊.

Many women take a contraceptive for several years before stopping it to get pregnant and everything goes fine.

Same thing if you take the contraceptive continuously (without a break period).

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
