There are two methods of beginning a birth control pill regimen. One way is to start the pack on the first day of your menstrual cycle. In this case, you are protected from pregnancy immediately. The other method is starting the pack on the first Sunday following your menstrual cycle. This method requires seven days of back up contraception before the oral contraceptives are effective.
