Is being 1 hour late taking b.c. pills 2 days in a row cause for concern? they were the last 2 pills in week 3. i've been on the pill for 3 months.

No: Birth control pills should be taken at the same time everyday, but within a 2-3 hour window is adequate. You can always talk to your doctor about birth control methods that dont require taking a pill every day.
