If you take you the pill every day and at the same time every day, then pregnancy is possible, but not very likely.

Then you should try to pick a time that you are awake and able to take it every day. If you don't take it at around the same time every day, it won't be as effective. Now, if you pick 6pm, for example, and one day you take it at 6:12pm, no big deal. Differences that small aren't going to matter. However, when you're talking about being hours late, that's when it can mean trouble.

Most pills report like a 3% failure rate with normal use. But like lewellyn said, the less reliably you take it, the higher the failure rate is.

Being off by a few minutes to an hour is no big deal at all Smile
