Answer
If you miss one day take two the next day. Not at the same time, but a half day apart or so. Don't take more than two in one day. If you are two days without taking the pill then use a back up for 7 days. I believe that if you miss it for more than 4 days, you should throw that pack out and start again with a new pill pack on the following Sunday. Then use a back up birth control for at least 7 days. So, if you are only a few hours late taking the pill, you should be fine. If you are at all worried, call your doctor and they'll be able to give you a better answer. And use a backup birth control until you are sure your pill is still affective. Hope that helpls!

Hello.
You can take Birth Control Pill late providing you take the pill within the same day your supposed to take it. For example, if you take your pill at 6pm you can take it as late as midnight of the same day.

Research your answer: |
- But what if you cant take the pill everyday at the same time?
- Is it ok to take contraceptive pills even if you have thyroid problem?
- If you forget to take a pill but take two the next day and the same day that you took two pills you have sex with a spermicidal condom could you be pregnant?
- Can you have unprotected sex during the last week of Seasonique which isn't the regular birth control pill but instead is the low-dose estrogen pill?
