Q: Taking Pills a Bit Late

asked by: questionss on December 16th, 2007

how long after your scheduled pill taking time is it considered "late" and starting to get risky. say in the last week 2 pills were taken an hour and a half late for 2 different days. is this alright or should they be closer to the "usual" time, and would un-protected sex right now be a bad idea?

6-12 hours is considered late. If it's only 1 pill in a row don't worry. Just take it whenever you remember. Say you took one a little late on monday and then one a little late on wednesday: no worries Very Happy
