It's a brilliant way of making sure your periods are in a perfect cycle, with no surprises and the fact thats its a contraceptive is a bonus. Just remember to take it everyday!

 No. Many hundreds of millions of women have taken birth control pills for extended periods of time and have gone on to have children after they have discontinued use.

 No, it does not prevent pregnancy at a later time. No medical professional is likely to say that it would never cause infertility, but that would be extremely unlikely. You almost certainly should be able to get pregnant after you discontinue use of the birth control pill.
