Q: Delayed birth control pill

Hi,

I have been taking my birth control pill sometimes an hour earlier or an hour later than I should be every night. (Usually I take it at 10pm, but lately I have either been taking it at 9pm or 11pm, sometimes 11:30). I am going to see my boyfriend in 3 days (long distance relationship). Could I get pregnant from doing this, even if I start taking it at the same times from now until then??
(There's also a 9 hour time difference so I have to be especially attentive!!)

Thanks,
Adema

To me I always took the pill at different hours of the day and it never failed. So you will be fine.

to maximize its effectiveness you need to take it i believe within an hour each day...but it really helps you to remember if you take it at the exact same time..i always set my alarm on my phone just in case i forget
