In most cases, previous contraceptive use does not have a long-term impact on fertility. Once contraception is discontinued, fertility typically returns to its natural state within a few menstrual cycles. However, some forms of contraception, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or hormonal injections, may cause a temporary delay in fertility restoration. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss the specific contraceptive method and its potential impact on fertility.
