Accepted Answer

: The typical use failure rate is 8-12% and perfect use failure rate approx1.1%. There are other birth control options w/lower failure rates. Norethindrone prevents ( theorized) pregnancy by thickening the cervical mucous making it impermeable to sperm, changes the Fallopian tube undulations &amp;changes the lining of the uterus thereby making implantation difficult. Failure is % women getting pregnant.

No:  A four hour delay is not likely to be of concern. Keep up with daily use for effect.

Question 3

is it considered late if you miss your birth control pill by 11 minutes? if so what should i do?

i take tarina fe 1/20 eq birth control (norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets  usp and ferrous fumarate tablets)

Accepted Answer

No: Eleven minutes late is too late if a person is trying to get on a plane after the gate door has locked, but 11 minutes makes no difference with birth control pills.

If worried, ask the prescribing Dr.
