    How long till the pill stops working?
    If a girl uses the pill and then suddenly stops, how long till she can get pregnant?
    Or should I ask, how long till the pill has been worked out of her system?

    Thanks.

    That really varies from person to person. I can tell you I got pregnant twice while taking the pill religiously at the same time every day.

    So, the pill is not 100% effective, only abstinence is.

    Typically, though, women are told that it takes about 3 months to be completely out of a woman's system and she is making these hormones on her own again.

    **Consult your physician**.

    Birth control was **virtually 100% effective** when it came out in the 1960's, but today, there are different strengths, as I understand it, and different protocols... we had no worries in the olden days!!
