WeLL IT DepEnds ON wHEn YOuR sTaRTing The PiLL. Your DoCtoR will TeLl you whether to start taking the Pill on the first day of your period ("first day starters") or on a Sunday ("Sunday starters").
If you TAke It DuRIng YOur PErIod - you will take the first active pill of the first pack during the first 24 hours of your period. You will be protected from pregnancy immediately and protection will continue as long as the Pill is taken on schedule. If you are a "Sunday starter," you will take the first active pill of the first pack on the Sunday after your period starts — even if you are still bleeding. If your period begins on Sunday, start the pack that same day.
IF YOu TakE iT ON a SunDay YOu should use another method of birth control during vaginal intercourse during the first week of pill use — any time from the Sunday you start your first pack until the next Sunday. Pill protection will begin after seven days and continues as long as the Pill is taken on schedule.

You're supposed to start it at the end of a period, then take it through the next one. So essentially, a month or one 28-day cycle.
After that, it's in effect, usually.
Hope this helped!

um well most my friends that are on it tell me that it can take up to 2 or 3 months deppending on the person...cuz one of my friend it took her a month so she was alright...so I suggest u to wait like three months just to be sure ok...and if you have unpretected sex and you get pregnant and still take the pills the baby will die so really wait three months it's better like that instaid of killing a baby or having unpretected sex and you don't know if you safe...unless you do that for your period like alot of girls do....hope I helped...oh and just to tell you you'll gain 5 pounds and get bigger boobs taking those

It is different with each kind of birth control. The most common, "the pill" or Ortho Tri Cyclen, or simply, Tri Cyclen, takes a month to start to work.
I take the three month shot, or Deprovera, and I believe I had to wait the entire three months before it became effective.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist and get as much info. as you can on your particular birth control method.
