Going back on the pill--have question..

I have been off of the pill for 2 months now so that my body could regulate back to normal. I seem to be my old self again, normal periods and the cramps are back. I am going back on the pill (ortho tri-cyclen generic Tri-Sprintec). I took it last year when I had no problems. This year was filled with problems (see previous posting), but I had switched pills in January when the breakthrough bleeding started. I was starting my period 1-2 weeks early almost every month. I went off the pill completely in July.

Anyway, my question is...how long do I have to be back on the pill to be protected against pregnancy?

Thanks in advance for your input.
