The short answer is it is best to wait one full cycle of pills (one pack) to ensure it is effective for birth control. Use a back up method of contraception during the first month. You are taking the pills to keep from getting pregnant. Not worth the risk of only waiting one week. -- Robin -- ~Robin~ List Owner, Chronic Pain Support Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ChronicPainSupportGroup I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional.
