Q: When Is Too Late?

Hey!
I just started taking the pill and my time is usually 9 pm, but tonight it was about 9:12 till I took the pill b/c I totally forgot about it..And b/c I was watching a tv show?

So the real question here is....Will I get pregnant now if I have unprotected sex b/c I missed it by 12 minutes?

I know that sounds like a stupid question, but I just want to be safe!

Thank you

kelly

How late would you have to take it for it to be considered late? Is an hour too late?

Usually anything under 8 hrs is ok. Even after that you should be fine consdiering most pill packages say your still covered if you miss one pill, as long as you take it as soon as you remember. At least this si the fact for alesse
