Hi and welcome to health care magic.

Please do not worry as you have taken the pills for a very short time. Long term use of pills means at least 4-5 years.

Also, if you are attempting pregnancy, the fertile period for women with regular 28 days cycle is between day 12-18 of the cycle counting from the first day of the last period. Try sexual contact on alternate days during this period for best results. Also ovulation detecting kits may be used to see the actual days of ovulation and contact during those days increases chances of pregnancy. If you are not able to conceive in 8-9 months of regular unprotected contact a visit to a doctor may be needed to look for any problem with conception.

Hope this was helpful.
Do not worry, the pills are not going to have any effect on your reproductive potential.

Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
