My doctor told me its not fully effective till at least 3 months, that seems like a while though so I'm not positive about it.

7 days.

Most doctors and gynos will tell you a month or longer so you get in the habit of taking a pill daily. (since one missed pill increases your chances of pregnancy.)

I just got a new kind last week and the nurse told me a month. Maybe it depends on your type of pill? Ask your pharmacist or doctor.

You should consult the leaflet that came with your pills. It will tell you.

it is very possible to become pregnant before the pills take effect.

If you have questions it's best to post them as a new question rather than as an answer to a previous question. More people will see it which means you're more likely to get answers.
