How long does it take for yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) to become effect? if i didn't take the pill during or right after my period?

To be safe,: Give it about 2 weeks. There is no solid rule or absolute number of days or weeks established. Use a backup method until then. Condoms are great since they also protect against stds.
