What if you stop taking birth control while sperm is still in you?
If you stop you'll probably end up pregnant. Yes sperm is still in you. Birth control controls the hormones in your body so the birth control is already doing it's job. By the time your body absorbs the sperm or disperses it, ( a couple of days), the birth control hormones are still present so it is unlikely you would get pregnant at this time. But after this, you won't be protected against pregnancy and your chances of becoming pregnant increase every day after that. In other words, it takes a few days for the birth control to stop working even after stopping the birth control.

It depends on what birth control method you're referring to.

Obviously if you were using spermicide the sperm wouldn't survive more than around 30 minutes to an hour.
