Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

IT will not cause any infertility. This might throw off the menstrual cycle for a few months and that is all. Remember that morning after pill is a hormone that normally exists in the body and as such not a major problem.

I hope this is clear. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
