Patch birth control

B

So i’ve decided to get on birth control because I don’t want anymore pregnancy scares and I don’t want anymore children at the moment.Ive chose to use the patch and i pick it up from my pharmacy on Monday.I selected the low dosage patch.My last period was from 11/19/23-11/25/23.I was wondering can i start the patch as soon as i get it or do i have to wait a while?and will it work as soon as i put it on or will it take a week or a couple to work?
