A member asked:

Wasn't sure if i waited long enough for levora to be effective but on my period during placebo wk now, shld i still be concerned about pregnancy?

No: Oral contraceptive pills have approximately 99% efficacy in preventing pregnancy if taken as directed. So as long as you have finished the first pack as directed, you should be protected from pregnancy.
