Birth Control & Fertility: Understanding Post-Use Pregnancy

Question
can birth control permanently prevent someone from getting pregnant even after birth control use has stopped?

Answer
no.

but: some times of birth control take a while for their contraceptive effect to "stop", and during that period you won't be able to get pregnant. but it's just temporary.

if you are in that situation or need further advice, please see a doctor or health professional who has followed your medical history.
