A member asked:
Sometimes i take my birth control a hour or two late or i forget and take it the next day along with my pill for that day. am i still protected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes but i would avoid missing the day. Taking it at different hours does not have any effect. I would create a time to take it everyday to be safe. Like in the morning when brushing your teeth.
