Does taking birth control pills once a year lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

My husband and I are trying to conceive, but we haven't been successful for about half a year. I vaguely remember that in the past two years, I have taken emergency contraception pills, but basically only once a year. I'm afraid it might be due to the pills. Could you please tell me if taking emergency contraception pills once a year can lead to infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! If you occasionally take emergency contraception pills, it generally will not affect future fertility. I suggest you relax your mind, alleviate tension, and maintain a regular schedule. If the two of you are living together normally without using contraception and have not conceived for more than a year, both of you should go to a reputable hospital's gynecology department for thorough examinations to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
