I have been on microgynon since 16 im know 21, and the thought of children is in the back of my mind. Will having been on the pill so long have affected my fertility. Im scared i might not be able to have children. Is there any test you can take to test your fertility?Thank you Lucy
Hi there, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Oral contraceptive pills have effects which are definitely reversible, and they will not affect your fertility in the long run. So, do not worry, you have not done anything wrong by taking oral contraceptive pills. To check fertility or the capacity of the ovaries to form eggs you could do blood test for hormonal evaluation. The hormone to be checked would be FSH. You should take folic acid while trying to conceive and if you do not conceive after a year of trying then get completely evaluated (both you and your partner) for subfertility. Hope this helps. Regards.
