A member asked:
What is considered "missing a pill" on combined contraceptive pills? if i take one 1.5 hrs late should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Missing a pill amounts to not taking a pill on any particular calendar day. Varying the time of day does not count as a missed pill. Varying the timing could prompt some spotting or breakthrough bleeding but would not decrease the contraceptive effect.
