Hi,
You have started pill almost at last day of your menstruation cycle according to history. So you can be protected right away. But if you have started your pill three to five days after starting of menstruation period than you have to wait for 7 days until effect starts.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
