How Long Will Effectiveness Of Birth Control Pill Last?

How long until birth control becomes effective?
my girlfriend started taking Camila birth control nine days ago. I've read it's main purpose is to prevent pregnancy. ive also see that most bc take 7 days to become effective. she takes it every day at the same time. we had sex without a condom yesterday because her mother said this is just as effective. we are still nervous about the whole situation though. I did not ejaculate into her. do you think me should get a morning after type pill? thank you

Hi

Initial seven days of starting or changing a hormonal contraceptive requires back up methods of contraception.

In case of intercourse less than 72 hours,you can take an emergency contraception.Beyond which effectiveness is reduced.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
