I was reading somewhere that if you take birth control 5 days into your cycle you protected immeditaly...I started taking mine like 5 1/2 - 6 ish days......Does that mean im protected right away??

I believe that if you begin taking the pills the first day of your period you are protected immediately. But if you start on a sunday start it takes about a week to be protected.

If you start it while on your period you are protected immediately, usually docs say start the sunday after your period starts because sunday is an easy day to remember!
