There is no increased rate of miscarriage or birth defects, and no decrease in fertility, in women who have taken the Birth Control pill in the past or who conceive while on the birth control pill. Of 100 couples using no birth control for a year, 85 will get pregnant; this number is the same for couples who used the pill in the past and for couples who did not.

Your periods are likely to return to their previous irregular pattern after stopping the pill - it doesn't cure any problem. Remember that the most important thing you can do to protect your fertility is to use protection against sexually transmissible infections.
In nearly all cases, fertility will return within a few weeks of not taking the pill. You ask if there's any chance? Of course there's a chance, but it's very negligible.

AnswerIt shouldn't. The problem is that if you started before you have ever been pregnant it may be that you were unable to conceive anyway.

I took the pill from age 19 to 30, stopped in August of one year, used condoms for 4 months and got pregnant the very first month we made love without contraception.
It will not effect your chances of conceiving at all because BCP will be 100%, completely out of your system 3months after stopping BCP.
