Does taking birth control as a teenager make it harder to get pregnant later?

Nope! Using hormonal birth control methods at any point in your life will not affect your chances of becoming pregnant later in life. A woman’s body will settle back into its natural ovulation pattern after going off hormonal methods. It may take a cycle or two to reset, depending on your body and chosen method. If you have specific, person questions or concerns about using hormonal birth control consult your doctor or make an appointment to visit with a health care professional at Teen Clinic.
