Dr. Goldstein:
So whereas it does not cause infertility or decreased ability to become pregnant, postponing pregnancy does. In addition, birth control pills can mask other disorders that can cause infertility such as polycystic ovarian syndrome because they will control her cycles, and, which will give the appearance that she is ovulating but in fact she is not.
