Accepted Answer

Generally no. Hormonal birth control manipulates the body’s natural hormonal cycle. For some people, their bodies react just fine. For others, they don’t. Hormonal birth control is safe and effective. Studies show that a body’s baseline fertility returns upon cessation of hormonal birth control. The tricky part is that being on HBC can mask other bodily issues such that a woman might not realize there are other issues until they stop taking HBC. But generally that is not the HBC’s fault.
