Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
So I ve been taking laxatives to lose weight for about 2 years, maybe more... I used to take like 12 a day but now I take probably like 6-8 every other day, sometimes it s more often, sometimes it s less. But I wanted to know if it can prevent me from getting pregnant? Like while I am having unprotected sex? Because my ex and I for a while were having unprotected sex daily with him finishing inside so I was surprised that I didn t get pregnant. I ve also had unprotected sex numerous other times without getting pregnant and it just seems kinda weird to me... So can laxatives prevent you from getting pregnant? And also is it possible for them to make me totally unable to ever get pregnant?
No, laxatives cant hace effect on pregnancy and fertility so in your case i would look for some other causes of your pregnancy difficulties. you need to check your hormonal status and sperm qualiy of your partner.

Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein
