What is the correct time to take Contraceptive pills before having unprotected sex? Like my periods will be in next 10 days and if I want to have unprotected sex after few days, when should I start taking the daily pills so that I don't get pregnant?

This is not possible at present. Pills can be started any day of needed but first 7 days  are not safe. The contraceptive effect establishes after 7 days of pill intake
