Read the package insert that should have come with your pills. It explains all of this.
According to the package insert, Nor-QD is effective almost immediately if started on the first day of your period. If you start on any other day after your period starts, the insert suggests that you use a back-up method for at least 48 hours during sex.
Most brands of birth control say that they're completely effective after 7 days of perfect use, although many professionals recommend that you abstain/use a back-up method for the first full cycle as a precaution.
