I started Levora 2 weeks ago. How long do I have to wait to make sure it's working (preventing pregnancy)?

Most pills say in the packets when they become effective, and your doctor should have told you as well, or told you if you asked.

Most pills are effective after one week of proper use. If you started on the first day of your period, then you were protected immediately.
