Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Postinor is a form of emergency contraception. It would not cause infertility.

Fertility requires the following to occur: (1) production and release of adequate egg from the female and sperm from the male (2) ability to travel along the tubes (3)transport to the endometrium or lining of the uterus for the embryo to implant

If you and your partner are having problems conceiving and it is over a year then you should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.

This would include semen analysis for your partner. For you the tests may be blood tests to check hormone levels, HSG (looks at the tubes and uterus) and ultrasound.

I hope this helps
