Question

If a girl comes off of the pill, how long does it take for the effects of the pill to wear off?

Answer 1

when i asked my doctor this question he told me that generally you should wait for two periods after stopping the pill for it to become totally inaffective but i started trying for a baby after my first period and got pregnant more or less straight away. hope this helps!

Answer 2

Well, I thought it took about 3 months to get out of your system, but I skipped a week of pills, then started back up and was pregnant.  So, for me it was quick.  

Answer 3

Not long.  That is why girls can get pregnant if they even miss one pill.  I know a girl whose doctor told her it would take at least a month for the pill to wear off and she ended up getting pregnant a week after stopping taking the pills.

Answer 4

About 24-48 hours. That's why they are taken every day. But if you are trying to conceive it may not be that easy. Many people take 3 months to a year to conceive after coming of the pill and other birth control. But take into consideration it often takes a woman on no birth control awhile to conceive.

Answer 5

well i mean the protection form pregnancy wheres of after 24 hours but the after effect of the hormone changes can last quite a while . i got a 12day perods when i came off the pill. i felt rather cr*p lol

Answer 6

2 days

Answer 7

Depends why - you can fall pregnant on the pill as well.

Answer 8

It's almost immediate. If a girl even misses one day, she has a greater chance of getting pregnant. As soon as she stops taking the pill, she is back to "normal," for lack of a better term, and the pill is no longer affective. However, depending on how regularly she took the pill (same exact time every day, or anytime--sometimes 36 hours apart, sometime 12, etc.), it may take a couple days for body to truly be back to its "original" state.
