Or will it be just as effective as it would have been if i wasnt late starting the pack?

 I have a one year old due to me taking the pill 4 days late. She's a blessing though!

 Nobody here could possibly know about your specific birth control strategies. Only your doctor could have any useful advice, which you have apparently sought and received. But generally, depending upon your cycle dates, sexual activities may be quite safe (unlikely to cause pregnancy) most of the time.
