When Am I Protected?

Updated

I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for almost a year, I take my pill at the same time every day and I start my packs the Sunday after my period starts. I know in the packet info it says that before you start taking the pills, if you are a Sunday starter, to use a backup method of birth control the first week. I just started having sex regularly with my boyfriend and was wondering if I am suppose to use a backup method the first week of EVERY pack or if that was only for when I initially started on the Loestrin 24 fe?
