Birth control and miscarriage?

Ellen
I'm just about to start taking the birth control pill, but when I confessed this to someone they freaked out at me telling me that I may never be able to conceive or that of I can, I'll only ever miscarry. To me this sounds like total bull, but now I'm scared. I do want to have children some day, but my boyfriend and I are still in college and don't want to be parents yet--birth control seems like the right option. Thoughts?
