How long after starting birth control pills do I need to use protection

D

My iud didn't work out so the dr put me on birth control pills and told me I would need to use back up for 7 days to 2 weeks. The paperwork on the pill says 7 days. Should I be extra careful and use protection 2 weeks or is 7 days good enough? May be a lil weird adding this but I'm married so protection against stds isn't an issue.
