I have used Sevista 60 mg from 26th June till 11th August. I am not having periods though my pregnancy test report is negative. How long should I wait for my periods to come? If I want to have sex, will I start Overal L again in this situation? Will Overal L give me protection against pregnancy? Will it take months or days for my periods to normalize since I stopped Sevista on 11th August? In the absence of periods, if I start Ovral L, will it prevent pregnancy?

Periods can delay after Sevista. Ovral L can prevent pregnancy if taken from Day 1 of cycle or with backup for 7 days. Consult your doctor before restarting. Do the required pregnancy test again if in doubt.
