Does frequent consumption of birth control pills affect fertility?

Patient's question:

Got married for a year, don't want children for now, usually use medication for contraception. Does taking birth control pills frequently affect fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, birth control pills are composed of a combination of progestogen and estrogen hormones, and the dosage is very small. Usually, after stopping the medication, fertility can be fully restored, and it generally has absolutely no impact on a woman's fertility. However, the best method of contraception is for the male to use a condom during intercourse. Therefore, if both parties do not want to have children, it is better for the male to wear a condom.
