Should I wait?

I was on birth control (Ortho Tricyclen Lo) for about 6 months last summer but kind of stopped as my insurance and other things changed. I am planning to go back on the pill after another exam, but I have to wait a couple of weeks to make an appt. because of work/summer plans.
My SO and I haven't had sex yet, but I'm pretty sure the day is soon approaching :)
My question is, should I wait until after the appointment? He's kind of "big", so should I not feel safe with just a condom? Lastly- how long after you start the pill should you wait..before it starts taking effect? Thanks!
