Diagnosed With Secondary Amenorrhea. Taking Pills To Regularize The Periods. Will I Be Infertile While On Pills?

Hiya i was diagnosed with secondry Amenorrhea about a year and a half ago after co.ing off the pill and not having a period in about 6 months. The doc told me to go back on the pill and that will make me regular again. I came off it again about 2months ago and still havent come on. Is there anything I can do and does it mean I could be infertile? Thank you
