Does Long Term Intake Of Postinor 2 Affect Fertility?

I've been taking postinor 2 almost every month this year.. Will this affect me in terms of fertility... I'm scared because i only just found out it has side effects.. I'm 23 and in a serious relationship and I'm thinking of getting pregnant in order to be sure i can still conceive...

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes long term use of emergency pill like postinor 2 could affect your fertility. Actually postinor 2 is a emergency contraceptive pill & it should be used just in case of emergency. One should never use these pills as regular method of contraception.
As you have taken many emergency pills earlier this month, Taking more emergency contraceptive pills can cause serious problems like irregular periods, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility. But these side effects is not necessary in every case.

Don't worry, first try to conceive in normal way. Consult a gynaecologist if some problem occurs.

Hope this information helps
