On lo loestrin fe. started new cycle and took first pill of new pack at 3:30pm instead of the usual 10:30pm. am i protected? it's my second pack.

Yes: As long as you take it every day, then you are protected. If you miss a dose, take two the next day. It is ideal for you to take it the same time every day so it can mimic an appropriate hormonal cycle. Try setting an alarm on your phone. Take care!

Yes!: Continue to take your prescription as directed and at the same time daily if possible. You are still protected at this time. Good luck and good health.
