How long does Junel FE stay in your system?

How long after stopping taking Junel FE will it affect fertility?

Hello,

You can get pregnant as soon as you stop taking your birth control, so it is important to use another form of contraception (protection) right away.
It does not affect fertility. You should have a period right after you stop it, then your NORMAL period within a month or 2 (whatever your normal at that age is).
Take care and stay safe!!
It is out of your system within a few days but it could take a few weeks for your hormone production to get used to it being out of your system. We generally advise people to give it 2-3 months before your cycle gets back to a new normal pattern.
Once you stop your pill, you can try and conceive. You basically want to get your first period just so you know when you ovulate. You can also use clear blue ovulation kit to help know when you are ovulating.
Good luck.
