∙ 12y agoNo. You need to start birth control BEFORE you have sex for it to be effective.
If you start on the 1st day of your period. Then 7 days! If you are starting randomly on a Sunday most likely , then 28 days.
They either inhibit the release of an egg, or prevents the egg from implanting - therefore the womb purges the lining before the egg can gain nourishment.
Birth control works by preventing pregnancy. If you are already pregnant, birth control is of no use.

Birth control pills have no effect on pregnancy tests.
If you've been on birth control for over 4 weeks then you're protected against pregnancy.
Yes. Birth control pills do not affect the accuracy of pregnancy tests.
Some people believe that if you "pull out" the penis before ejaculation, you can avoid pregnancy. This is not an effective means of birth-control since semen can be released before ejaculation and cause pregnancy.
Yes you could be pregnant so perform a pregnancy test BEFORE taking birth control.
When did you start taking birth control and when was your period supposed to come? I know that many doctors recommend that you take birth control pills for about a month before you have unprotected sex. If you're still unsure, I would recommend taking an at-home pregnancy test - some of them can detect pregnancy very early (like as soon as you miss your period, I think).
Birth control is NOT instant and needs to be taken 30 days before it is protecting against pregnancy. I suggest before you have any further sex you take sex education, learn about prevention of pregnancy, and to realize that sex has responsibilities.
