A member asked:
5 hours late on birth control, should i use another form of protection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I'm assuming that you are on birth control pills. If you are 5 hours late, you can take today's pill now. Take tomorrow's pill at the regular time. You are unlikely to get pregnant from being 5 hours late for a pill.
