Combination Pill

Daisy

Hey I'm 16 and just picked up my fist 3 months worth of the combination pill and will take my first one tonight. I have one regular partner and am on day 23 of my 28 day cycle. Please can someone tell me how long it will take for the contraceptive aspect of the pill to become effective / how long do I still need to use barrier contraception for? Thank you.
