Hi Blondie83,
It should be fine to take a multivitamin with the oral contraceptives. It is important to be sure that your doctor knows your taking the multivitamin just for completeness.
Be careful, though, that your multivitamin doesn't have any additional herbs or supplements in it. Some of these can interact and weaken the contraceptive. Your local pharmacist should be able to give you specifics on your particular vitamin and its interactions.
Best wishes.
