Whoever is saying it takes 7 days to a month no matter when you start, is lying.
Even if you start with pack in the middle of the month, you will by protected after one week. It is suggested you wait a full month before having completely unprotected sex, but you are theortically safe after one week.
If you start the pills on the first day of your period, you are instantly protected, you don't have to wait a week or a month.

There is always a chance. After your next period, if you miss, then test.

You do have to wait 7 days i was on this pill too and was told to use other method until day 8 of taking them by the doctor that prescribed it for me but if you did take your first one on day 1 of your period then its unlikely your pregnant as most woman dont ovulate until at least week 2 after the first day of their last period however sometimes you can ovulate before the second week and become pregnant i would not ever recomend using no protection for the first 7 days of taking microgynon
