Does taking birth control pills after exposure to people affect fertility?

Patient's question:

I got pregnant once while I was with my boyfriend, but because we were still young, we had an abortion and didn't keep the baby. After that, we had sex again and took two birth control pills. My roommate said this could affect fertility. I want to ask a doctor if taking birth control pills after an abortion affects fertility.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it is possible to experience menstrual disorders after taking birth control pills after an abortion. Generally, it will not affect future fertility. It is recommended that you do not have sexual intercourse during this period. Sexual intercourse within two weeks after an abortion can easily lead to inflammation, which may affect future fertility. During this period, it is important to pay attention to enhancing nutrition and eating more high-protein foods.
