I am wondering this because I have heard that long term use of the pill can sometimes alter the chemicals in your body and cause infertility or sterility. I know that when your on the pill, the hormones in the pill keep you from ovulating so you dont get pregnant. One of my nursing instructors was saying that long term use could cause this to happen indefinitely. I am worried because I have been on the pill for 6 years and I am getting married soon and would like to have children in a few years. Has anyone ever heard of this happening to someone they know that used the pill for a long time? Should I stop taking the pill and use something else?

I have been off of the shot for 6 years. Since being off of the shot, my periods came back heavier and more painful than before. My hormones are out of whack and for three years my Fiance’ and I have not been able to conceive. I have read several websites with hundreds of women who have the same issues. Does anyone know if there is a class action lawsuit regarding infertility? If not, why isn’t there one?
