A member asked:
What happens if i begin lo loestrin fe a little late?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on how late: If you are late by a day or two it will be ok for protection against pregnancy.But if you are late by several days than i will use alternate method for birth control. Birth control pills work by preventing ovulation and if ovulation has occurred you can get pregnant.
