Since : Since this is a new prescription for you, pregnancy would be rare, but please take a pregnancy test to be sure. If you are still concerned, see your doctor and they can perform a blood pregnancy test as well.

Regular use of OC's: When taking an oral contraceptive it is imperative to take the pill every day about the same time each day. Adherence to this regimen will allow the most efficacy for this method. Using a "back up" physical contraceptive is assuring to prevent pregnancy for the initial month of pill use. If no period at the end of this cycle, please do a pregnancy test.
