Does The Use Of Oral Contraceptive Pill Have An Impact On Future Fertility?
Question: Hi Dr. XXXXXXX
We are planning for a child, however there are a few concerns I would like you to help me understand:
a. I was on XXXXXXX for over two years, and have stopped it from Jan-15. My periods are regular but the flow is very less and usually lasts 1-2 days since I have stopped OCP ( Prior to starting them I had a 4-5 days flow ). Is this alright or will this be a problem for my conception ?
b. I have been practising yoga regularly for over a year, is it okay for me to continue ?

Thank you for the clarification doctor.
However, I would like to understand what can be the cause of low flow ? I have tested my hemoglobin as well as thyroid and both are normal.
Also, I have been taking Proanagen for hairfall. Is this safe while trying to conceive ?
Thanks in advance.
