Depending on what type (there are several types of birth control pills), the efficacy of the pill is 98%-99.9%. Usually, the doctor will recommend that you complete one to three full cycles before you can rely on the pill as your primary birth control. Now, what you have to understand is that the pill does not protect against any type of STD so be careful. Also, don't smoke if you are on the pill, as this will potentially lead to health problems. Various antibiotics will alter the effectiveness of the pill, so in this instance, if you are not sure, use a back-up method of birth control (condoms). If you refuse to use the condoms, find out from a source (planned parenthood, nurse, pharmacist, etc.) to see if the antibiotic that you are taking will have an interaction with your birth control pill.
Have Fun!!

Well, you can call your doctor and ask them very quickly - they'll be happy to help. You'll also want to VERY CLOSELY read the information that came with your pill, as it will talk about how long it takes the pill to become effective, times it may not work, and what happens if you forget to take a pill.
Tri-phasic pills generally take a full cycle of pills to become effective, so you'll need to continue using condoms during this time. You'll only want to STOP using condoms after a cycle, and only if you and your partner have been tested for STDs and plan to be monogomous.
Other times to watch out for: the pill stops working if you are on anti-biotics or certain types of medication. Anytime you take medication, ask your doctor how it will affect the pill. Vomiting and bad diarrhoea can also render the pill useless - as can skipping a day of your pill cycle.
Both main types of pill are 99% effective, which means only one women on the pill out of 100 will get pregnant in a year.

The pill takes a few weeks to take effect, maybe as long as it takes for a fertilized egg to travel into the womb. So maybe about 3 weeks.
