Forgot to take birth control this am and won't be able to until 4pm. do i need to take it asap when i get home or what? def don't want to get pregnant

Take ASAP: It depends on what type of birth control pill you are taking, but in most cases, taking it when you get home should be fine. If you forget to do that, then taking 2 the next day is okay as well. If you are taking a Progestin-only pill, such as Micronor, (norethindrone) then you definitely need to take ASAP. If taking a combined birth control pill (that contains estrogen), then taking ASAP or 2 tomorrow is fine.
