I have been using Nur Isetrate for 8 months and then recently I starting using Ovral for almost two weeks now, I would like to know how long before I'm properly protected by Ovral

Hello, Mims! How are you?

For switching to the Ovral tablets, if you started them while on your period, you would be immediately protected against pregnancy, since they will prevent ovulation this month. However, if you started them at any other time, then you have to take them for one week.

Please note that no birth control method, including these, are 100% foolproof.

Is there anything else I can help with?
