Will taking emergency contraception cause infertility?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am 25 years old, female. I have been married for many years, but I have never had children. I went for a check-up, and the doctor said I am infertile. I would like to ask the doctor, will taking emergency contraception pills cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

You took emergency contraception twice within a month. Emergency contraception should only be used twice a year, so you can only take it once a month. From now on, you must use condoms during every sexual encounter and never take medication again. The standard method for breastfeeding is using condoms throughout, not taking emergency contraception, which should only be used in emergencies. I don’t know how your periods will be regular in the future, but as long as they are regular, it will never affect your ability to conceive later.
