Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes long term use of Ipill can affect your fertility. Actually ipill 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.
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
