A member asked:
Im on gildess birth control, which is a combination pill. i have taken the pill a few hours late sometimes. is this bad? i have never missed a pill.

Likely fine: Only being a few hours late is likely fine - the most important part of the pack for you to be on time with is the first half...Set an alarm to remind you - remembering to take it is the hardest part! good luck!
