A member asked:

How soon will a birth control pill take effect if my period is scheduled to start in the next 4 days ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

6 weeks: If you are just starting birth control pills for the first time, it takes about 6 weeks for full pregnancy protection. Until then, use a backup method of contraception. Hope this helps!
