A member asked:

I've been taking seasonique every night between 10pm & 12am (started at 10pm).is it perfect use or do those 1 or 2 hours result in late use or missed?

Fine: You are doing so much better than most that you should be congratulated. Most people have no problems with 1 or 2 hours. If you start having some breakthrough bleeding, that will be a sign that you can't tolerate even that small amount of variation but I think you are practically perfect!

Not sure: Seasonique is the trade name for a penicillin product in Australia. You say when you take it but I am not sure what your question is.

No worries.: Seasonique is a combination pill instead of a progestin only pill. It takes about 24 hours for the drop in hormones to result in a pregnancy, unlike progestin only at 3 hours. If you are worried about it and to prevent a sexually transmitted disease like HIV, use protection such as a condom for backup.

Yes: Oral contraceptive medication, such as Seasonique is a combination of Levonorgestrel and Norethinyl Estradiol, containing one light blue-green tablet of levonorgestrel + ethinyl estradiol daily for 84 consecutive days, followed by one yellow ethinyl estradiol tablet for 7 days. To achieve maximal protection, it is recommended to take the medication same time daily, not to exceed 24 hours gap.

Seasonique: Hi, it's best to take the birth control pills almost at the same time everyday to increase compliance and prevent forgetting it, being said that there is no worries if you take them between 10pm to 12 am.
