timing of pill
Posted: 03-02-08 06:00am

Ok, I haven't been very good about taking my birth control pills at the right time. I've never missed a pill, but I'm always remembering at strange times.

I had sex tonight and last night, was I basically unprotected? If so, should I take plan b then? I should be getting my period within the next 3 days, I don't know if thats important.

Thanks

Can anyone help me out?

I really just want to know if I take the pill at differnt times does it just make it less effective or completely uneffective?

As long as the pills are within 6 hours each day you're fine.

You should try setting an alarm on your phone to remind you, carry your BC with you in your purse so you wont forget it, especially if you dont come home ontime, etc...
