My gf has been on birth control for 6 days & she used planb. since she used planb would she have to wait 7 days for her birth control to be effective?

Confusing post: The blend of different hormonal products involved make this question confusing. Pill makers often say their product will work after a week or so. Given the importance of the outcome many OBGYNs recommend a backup form of BC for the first month. I suggest you use condoms for the month and things would become easier to manage after that point.
