Started The Monday After My Period
UpdatedI started my first pack the Monday after my period instead of the Sunday after. I wanted to know how long I should wait to have sex. Am I immediately protected or should I wait a week or a month? I was not late starting a new pack it's the first pack I've been on.

You should be protected within 1 week of continuously taking the pills, however, if you just started it is advisable to use a backup birth control method for the first full month, just to be extra careful.
The week waiting period is usually why they have you start it when you start your menstrual cycle, so protection is effective by the time the week of your cycle is over.
Side effects to birth control pills can include: nausea, drowsiness, weight gain and headache.
