It depends on the type. The pill, patch, and shot have no long term problems associate with them, but something like an IUD (inter-uterine device) could cause scarring of the uterus and lead to difficulty conceiving after removal. And of course having your tubes tied is a permanent form of birth control.
As always, talk to your doctor about your concerns and you'll find what works best for you. Don't avoid birth control because you're nervous about it. Just get the facts from an expert.

When choosing the form of birth control you might be using it's very important to do your research and make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Personally, I think the pill is the only safe method of birth control. I recently looked around (I was getting on BC after having my son) and found that all other forms of BC have a disclaimer that says there is a possibility of becoming infertile. That didn't scare me the first time I took the shot and I wish I knew what I was getting myself into. It took me a year and a half just to get pregnant after one (just one!) shot of depo provera. I couldn't believe it and then looked back at the warnings--and saw they were all there when I signed the paper stating I was okay with the outcome! Anyway, my point is read the side-effects and consider each one seriously. Make sure you are okay with the "possibility of becoming infertile" or "may cause heart attack." I think as women we all think those things may not happen to us--but I know quite a few that it really has happened to. Everyone is different but why ruin your chances of ever having a child by ignoring simple warnings.

pills no... pills increase the chances.. the shot can have an effect... just look it up some people say they can't conceive for a year after they're last shot. I was worried about that. It took for 2 years to conceive after the shot stopped.Depends on your body. If you want an effective way.. Use IUD. when your ready you pull it out and your good your body goes back to normal and no accidents. There is a percent chance you will get pregnant on the shot. I know someone who got pregnant off the shot

It all depends on how well your body adjusts. Some women can get pregnant right away when others take months and years to conceive. I'm currently starting my 5th month of trying to conceive and decided to buy a Basal Body Thermometer to see if I'm actually ovulating. So I would suggest when you go off the pill you try for a few months and if nothing happens then you maybe do temping or ovulation tests to see what's going on with your cycle.

No, I dont think it does. I was on birth control for 7 years and got pregnant right away after only a month of being off of it. And I have a healthy baby! :)

I have heard that this is a possible side effect but do not know specifics. I have heard that the longer you are on the pill the harder it will be to get pregnant when you are ready to try. Your doctor is probably going to be able to explain this much more in depth -or- check online for some articles on the subject, you may learn something helpful.

It shouldn't do, no. Its not like in the 60's where the fake hormones in the pill were really strong.
It can take a while after coming off the pill as someone else has said but then it can happen straight away (as it did with my sister), if you're worried you should see your GP to get it checked out.

It depends on the dose you are taking and how long you take it, how soon after stopping you may get pregnant. Dependent on both of those variables, sometimes soon, very soon, and sometimes you could have a decent wait. You need to discuss that with the doctor you get your contraceptive from and he or she will be able to give you a very precise answer tailored to your exact situation.

Depends on your body, some women might have trouble conceiving after being on the pill, others may not. It also may not be the pill that could cause problems with conceiving, there could be other factors that only your doctor could tell you about after a complete exam. basically only your doctor could tell you for sure, because he knows your medical history, and what hormones are and are not for you.

it depends on the birth control method you are using as usually it don't hurt your chances, but even after you stop does delay it some. the pill after quitting can take up to six months implants and patches can take up to a year after discontinuing use.
