It does not affect future conception.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Taking an I-pill can cause an irregular periods for a month or so. It does not have any permanent effect on the fertility. You need not worry. You can have unprotected sex during the fertile days of the cycle for pregnancy.
In case you are unable to get pregnant then do consult an infertility specialist for proper guidance.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hi Doctor,

Thanks for your reply and my follow-up question is----In case if i am unable to get pregnant and if i consult any gynecologist or any doctor for proper guidance will gynecologist or doctor would they come to know about my prior intake of the i-pill tablet??

My question is like for example--if i have consumed an i-pill and if i go directly to a gynecologist or a doctor( i will not tell to doctor or gynecologist that i have consumed an i-pill before) in this case would they come to know about that or not? is what my question is..

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
There is no way to know that you have taken an I-pill if you do not disclose this to doctor yourself.
Hope my answer is helpful.
