Hey,
I just started taking birth control a couple days ago , how long does it take to become affective?? and if your going to have side affects from it would they happen soon after beginning to take them ?

A week, make sure you wait a week. Side effects start after a week and are usually gone within a month or two. As soon as your body gets used to the pills and all the extra hormones.
If you read the little pamphlet that came with your pills it will explain all the details to you.

Usually it takes about a month to start taking effect. That also depends on the type of BC you are taking. Others may be sooner. But with the pill it is usually one month. And side effects are usually within the first few months of taking the BC.

My doctor always told me to use another form of birth control (like condoms) during the first 15 days of starting the pill.
Side effects can happen immediately, like feeling nauseous, bloated, mood swings, tender breasts.

i was always told they dont work right away. it has alot to do with what your takeing and your body weight. pills dont work for the 1st month or so. i would look up info on the product your takeing it can tell you more. or ask your doc....but 4 the side affects when i started the pill, i was ok till the 2nd month then it messed with me bad. it takes tme for the hormornes to kick in.
