Q: Reclipsin a few minutes late ?

Just wondering. I am always within the hour, 99% of the time I am right on the dot. A few times I have been anywhere from 3 minutes to 40 minutes late. Not often though. Could this be bad and affect the effectiveness of the pill?

Also, is Reclipsin a combination pill or is it progestin only? Not sure.

THANKS!!!! My mind will be a little more at ease after I get some answers.

You are fine if you take the pill less than an hour late. Most birth control brands give you two hours of leeway in taking the pill.
Reclipsen is a combined birth control pill- containing both estrogen and progestin.
