CONTRACEPTION: Starting Birth Control

So i was just prescribed the pill and I'm not sure when to take it. I get my periods about every 10-14 days and the frequency makes it difficult to track my cycle. Besides, they usually start off so light that I'm never sure when I'm really starting.

So at any rate, it's Thursday night and I'm on my period and the pill says to start the sunday after, but I can't remember if I was on the rag this past Sunday. If I was, then that should have been the sunday to take it. If I wasn't, then it's only a couple days off at the most. Should I just start the pill this coming Sunday? If so, will it still take only a week or so to be fully effective?

Thanks everybody :)
