Question:

How long oral contraceptives have their effect after the consumption is stopped?


Answers:

You cannot rely upon them for contraceptive usage beyond more than about 24-36 hours post-ingestion.

If however you're asking how long it will be before you can reliably conduct hormone tests, doctors advise being off BCPs for at least 3 months.

If you're trying to conceive, then it can happen right away; however in order to accurately determine when you most likely conceived, it is advisable to use a barrier method of contraception for at least 3 consecutive months in order to track your cycle and plot potential ovulation points.
