The potential list is extensive - antibiotics, tight pants or pantyhose, stress, too much sex, douching, diabetes, birth control pills, etc.

Yup.

>Can a yeast infection hurt your chances of getting pregnant?

Unlikely (long term) but during the infection, it may reduce fertility.

>Can getting off the pill hurt you from recovering from the infection?

Shoulldn't.

>Should I get back on to balance my hormones?

As above, the pill, in some, may promote yeast.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
