Hi,
If you don't want a baby now you can take a contraceptive, taking OCP's once only cannot cause infertility intact. There are very fewer chances of infertility, for next time I suggest you opt for non-hormonal contraceptives like condoms and rings.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
