Fertility: It's not only women who have a biological clock – and other lesser-known facts

Some women may incorrectly believe that contraception affects your long-term fertility.

However, Doctor Campbell assured that some women “conceive immediately after they stop using contraception”.

“Contraception is unlikely to affect your fertility, but it can hide a potential underlying problem, such as irregular periods,” said Doctor Campbell.

Yet, irregular periods don’t always indicate a fertility issue, as weight loss or weight gain, stress, or hormones can affect the menstrual cycle.
