I’ve seen lots of posts online about birth control potentially impacting your fertility and i’ve been taking my mini pill for almost a year now and im worried that it will impact my fertility for when i want children - is this just paranoia?

Yes this isn’t true and posts like this online are just fear mongering. The pill obviously impacts hormones and this can take a while to regulate when you decide to come off, but they will eventually.

It's misinformation. Birth control does not negatively impact fertility. In fact in some cases it can improve fertility by reducing your risk of endometrial cancer.

There are no studies to back those claims, just people trying to scaremonger, birth control doesn’t harm your fertility.

Don’t believe everything you read online without doing your own research

Only the injection can affect fertility but only for up to a year after you come off it so you need to plan ahead
