How long do you need to be on birth control before it becomes active?

it depends on what your on. most pills are 1 full cycle. nuvaring is effective immeadiately if inserted on the correct day, IUDs are immeadiate. Not sure about the patch or depo. You need to read the info that comes with your birth control, it will tell you. also, you should have discussed this with your doctor when you were given your prescription.How long do you need to be on birth control before it becomes active?
check with your doctor or pharmacist. This is going to vary from product to product. If you have the name of the product, you can probably find a website with consumer information.How long do you need to be on birth control before it becomes active?
A full cycle of the pills.
working in a pharmacy I recommend at least one cycle of pills taken at a regular intervals. Missed pills especially during the first pack can be a problem. Make sure they are taken at the same time everyday as to keep your hormone levels regular. Backup methods should be used if ingaging in itercourse within the first month or after a late or forgotten pill.
straight away!
