i am a pill user for almost 10 years now. just recently i will be marrying my long-time bf and have this fear that i might have a very hard time conceiving due to a long-term usage of pill. is there any connections about it?

phoebe - November 2nd, 2009 10:53 AM

i myself is a self-confessed pill long-term user and haven't experienced to have a hard pregnancy.

tracy - November 2nd, 2009 12:30 PM

i don't think it could harm you or rather make it harder for you to conceive. there is no basis for that.

dianne - November 2nd, 2009 12:34 PM

no evidence that long-term use of pill will cause you to be infertile.

elijah - November 2nd, 2009 12:39 PM

in fact, there is a study about that issue that about 74% of those women who have been a long-term pill user conceived within 6 months and the rest of those percentage conceives after a year.

well, sometimes there are chances that it will really affect you. my friend have that kind of problem and mind you, not only she had become imfertile, she also developed a cyst in her ovary.

sheena - November 2nd, 2009 12:52 PM

that's scary, yes maybe sometimes there are instances that it would really affect your fertility.

ashley - November 2nd, 2009 12:55 PM

well, it wouldn't make you any lesser to be infertile but it would only delay your conception.

harlem - November 2nd, 2009 1:02 PM

this doesn't mean you will be infertile. this has been associated only with those complications that a pill may cause you.

betsy - November 2nd, 2009 1:04 PM

just like what harlem? yes i've heard that kind of explanation but haven't take it seriously.

harlem - November 2nd, 2009 1:06 PM

it would actually cause you ovarian and uterine cancers, just like deborah mentioned a while ago with her friend who has a cyst. that cyst might develop into cancer.

aida - November 2nd, 2009 1:07 PM

yes, exactly. also it would complicate you to have endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy and pelvic inflammatory disease.

we_women - November 2nd, 2009 1:09 PM

it would never be harmful unless if your usage will be in an abusive way.

viktoria - November 2nd, 2009 1:10 PM

A: if you happen in planning to conceive and you are a pill user, you better stop taking the pill for 2 to 3 months before trying the chance to have a baby.

trista - November 2nd, 2009 1:12 PM

yes that is correct. sometimes if you don't stop using pill or you abruptly stop taking the pill and you wanted to have a baby, chances are you might have the higher risk of miscarriage.

sandy - November 2nd, 2009 1:13 PM

doctors would have to advice you to have a one natural period before trying to conceive.

zyger - November 2nd, 2009 1:13 PM

that is best so that you will be sure enough that by the time you are conceiving, you will have a healthy pregnancy.
