Ovranette to Microgynon - help?

Hi! As many of you probably know there's a problem at the Ovranette manufacturers and they've switched me and a lot of other people to Microgynon 30 temporarily. I'm currently on my pill-free week and am wondering whether or not I'll be protected if I start taking Microgynon when I would normally begin my Ovranette. I've read that they're the exact same thing by different manufacturers and they contain the same amounts of the same hormones. What do you think? Anyone know for sure?

That was a bit confusing, wasn't it? Sorry, hope it made a bit of sense though.
Whenever I've changed types of pill I've either had to run the packs together, or not been protected for the first 7 days.
