How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
Take one Levest tablet each day, for the first 21 days of your cycle (there’s a little set of arrows on the strip to help you keep track of the days). Then, have seven pill-free days, before starting on your next pack, and repeat.
It’s best to take it at the same time each day, so it can be helpful to set yourself a reminder or include taking your Levest pill in your bedtime or morning routine.
If you’re not already using hormonal birth control, you can start it any time. You’ll be covered against pregnancy straight away if you take it on the first day of your period. If you start on another day, you should use condoms for the first week of taking it while the pill takes effect.
Switching from another pill to Levest? You can start taking Levest the day after the last pill in your previous pill pack.
When starting Levest pills after pregnancy and giving birth, it’s best to check with your GP or midwife first. Levest isn’t suitable for use during breastfeeding.
It increases the chances of you getting pregnant. You should take the pill at the same time each day. If you’re more than 12 hours late taking Levest, it’s a missed pill.
Your protection might be reduced if you miss one or more pills, so you should use a barrier contraceptive (like a condom) for a week if this happens, and refer to the leaflet for more info on what to do next. If your missed pill happens when there’s fewer than seven pills in the pack, you should skip the seven day break and start the next strip after finishing your current one.
If you want to try for a baby, you can stop taking Levest any time. But it’s recommended that you wait until you’ve had at least one normal menstrual cycle after stopping before trying to conceive. Remember that it’s a good idea to start taking folic acid before you start trying to conceive.
You can, but you should check with our clinician before doing this. This is called ‘pill-stacking’ or continuous pill use, and some women prefer it because it means they don’t have a withdrawal bleed. It’s also thought that it offers a slightly higher level of protection than regular or ‘typical’ use.
But it’s an off-label use not licensed by the manufacturer, so it’s better to get advice before doing this.
