how long does it take birth control to become effective?

Question

i started my bc pill three days ago and was wondering how long it takes for it to become most effective? effective meaning avoiding pregnancy, not other symptoms

Answer

Most is 7 days. And before anyone tells me how wrong I am, look on planned parenthood's website or teenhealthsource.com. It should also say on your pack when it's effective and you can double check with your doctor

Answer

I believe it's only a week!

Answer

On average 3 months.

I'm in the medical field, and have been on birth control for over 3 years.

Answer

I would definitely wait at least a month.
