Questions about fertility?

[Bpas_1968]

Hi all,

We have produced a leaflet with answers to some common questions about fertility:

Can I get pregnant at any time of my cycle?

I've had chlamydia - will that make it more difficult to conceive? What if I have had Pelvic

Inflammatory Disease?

Does it become harder to conceive the older I get?

Does abortion lead to infertility?

I’ve just stopped using hormonal contraception (the pill, implant, injection, patch, vaginal ring, hormonal coil.) Will it take a while for my fertility to return?

I’m worried that the emergency contraceptive pill may have harmed my fertility. How likely is this?

Is it true that if you are breastfeeding you can’t get pregnant?

Do I need to use contraception if I have polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS?

I have received a diagnosis of endometriosis, will I still be able to conceive?

I never conceived with my last partner. If I have a new partner and we’ve both been tested for STIs, can we have sex without contraception?

The leaflet is online here: bpas.org/js/filemanager/fil...

Hope this info is of help!
