A member asked:

For what length of time do birth control pills stay in your system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

1-2 days: Any pill of a birth control pill stays in your body for 1-2 days at the most. So once your finish a pack of bcp the hormones are gone within several days. That is why a woman needs to start the next pack on time to get pregnancy protection.
