Yes : Birth control is very effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly. It is effective after 7-14 days of use.

Only 90 to 92% "safe: You risk of "becoming pregnant" after 2 months of taking oral contraceptive pills and "having unprotected sex" is relatively low (6 to 8%) . If you want a better, most effective long-acting-reversible method of preventing pregnancy (99%) , ask a knowledgeable and caring Gyn for an intrauterine device (IUD) or a subdermal contraceptive implant and use condoms too.
