My birth control pill pack was against a warm (not hot) coffee cup for about 15 minutes before i noticed and took it off. will these 15 minutes cause my birth control pills to no longer be effective?

No, that exposure to warmth should not affect the effectiveness of your birth control pills. You may still use them as intended. Practice safe sex, and Good luck.
