A member asked:

How much time does triphasil (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) take to get in your system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

3- 4 days: to reach a steady level of hormones can take 3 - 4 days. This is why starting with the first day of your cycle, with your very first pack of pills, is useful, enough time before ovulation to be working as a contraceptive.
