It depends on when in your cycle you started the pills.  If you started on the first day of bleeding, it's effective right away.  If later in your cycle, it typically takes 7 days to take effect, so use back up prior to then.  It also may depend on when you last had sex, and what you used for protection.

Accepted Answer

Withdrawal of birth control is highly unlikely to cause weight gain. Without birth control you may be pregnant which can cause an initial, significant weight gain. Other issues are thyroid dysfunction. Sometimes the estrogen in oral contraceptives can cause nausea and now you may be relieved of this nausea.

Losing insurance should not prevent you from obtaining contraception. Wal-mart has very cheap birth control as does planned parenthood and neighborhood health clinics. The clinics can also evaluate for thyroid dysfunction. I would suggest that you check out one near you.
