    How long for pill to stop being effective.

    I am just wondering about birth control pills...I started the sugar pills on July 8th and havent started a new package of pills yet. How long until my hormones return to normal? (the pills not in my system)

    They stop being as effective when you stop taking them at the regular time every day. If you stop pills completely then it can take several months for your body to register that there is nothing left of the pills in you. It again can take several months for your body to go back to "normal hormonal" levels not induced by the birth control pill.
