It can vary. I didn't start any protein supplements until I was 4 months into my program, and when I did start taking them, I noticed my "plateau," of being able to up my weights/reps was broken, finally, after about 2 weeks of use.
Don't expect miracles. You need patience, a sensible diet, the protein, and lots of work...have a look at the 6-week point, and don't compare it to the 5-week point; compare it to before you started. Keep photos and measurements. Don't get on the scale everyday; the water weight and daily variables will drive you nuts. Weight yourself first thing in the morning once every 4 days or so (after you use the bathroom).
Good luck. Patience and persistence will bring you where you want to be.
