7 days: Birth control pills are out of your system about 7 days after taking them regardless of how long you have been on them. You could be on them for one month or 10 years and it still would not affect your long term fertility

One month: Once you stop taking the hormones,they immediately " stop working" so to speak. You may resume a normal cycle and ovulate within the next month. We would not consider you infertile unless you tried for a year after going off the pill and were unable to get pregnant.
