Do you know, ‘What’s one of the greatest ironies in life?’
When a woman’s fertility is at a peak she takes measures to prevent pregnancy and once she is ready she faces difficulty.

With age, a lot of changes occur in the body from experiencing a sexual problem in females to diminished ovarian reserve. Now! Coming back to the question. If you are above 30 and you notice it is getting difficult for you to conceive then there are high chances your fertility is lagging due to some reason.
Does birth control make it difficult to get pregnant?
Do you have this concern in your mind, ‘Is my chosen birth control affecting my chances to conceive?’ Answer: NO! NO! NO!
No matter what kind of birth control you use, your chances of pregnancy are not affected. Although certain hormone-based contraceptives come with certain risks, they won’t lead to infertility.
How long does it take for ovulation to get normal after taking hormonal birth control?
The birth control suggested by your gynae can help you to prevent pregnancy although don’t worry that it will affect your fertility once you stop its use. Although, your ovulation will take some time to get back to its normal state. But, you must be wondering, ‘How much is the wait time?’

Are there any exceptions?
