Question
Hello there Diana:
I was told that if you use the pill for too long (longer than 7 years) that you will never be able to have children. Is this true?

Answer
Hi Treala,
I found this statement on http://www.expectbaby.com

"Birth control-Hormonal: Available for both men and women, these have minor side effects and long term use can trigger infertility"

Also found this article on
http://www.covenantnews.com/holman050523.htm

I don't know if I had really thought about this but it could be true. Have you been on long? Feel free to email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
