A member asked:
Started taking levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) about a month ago on 1st day of period but did not start in red section and did not take in order. will it still be effective?

You need to take: the entire course of oral contraceptives otherwise do not blame it if you fail contraception. It is designed specifically to fool your ovulation cycle into not happening but you need to take it as intended. Otherwise you may as well take a prenatal vitamin instead of the hormone contraceptive. Good luck and thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
