Most are effective after seven days of taking them, but some can take as much as three weeks before being fully effective.

most pills are effective after 7 days of taking them.so you only need backup protection for that 7 days. others recommend 1 month with back up method. read the insert that came with your pill, all you need to know when taking them is written there. you can read there when will it be effective. or ask your doctor about it. different pill brands have different formulations, so every one is different.

I was always told that it takes a full month to become totally effective. I'd use an alternate form of birth control for the first month, just to be safe.
