Just got my IUD, when do I stop taking the pill, and can I take the pill for a week vs using condoms?

I just got my 2nd IUD. But I had to be on birth control for a little while inbetween the two..can I just keep taking BC till the week is up for the IUD to kick in? Or do I have to stop taking the bc and use condoms for the week??
