I'm on yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) bcp i have not missed a pill but i am about 5 hrs late on taking it should i take 2 pills instead if 1 today to be covered from pregnancy ?

OCP's: You stated that you did not miss any pills, just taking it late. That is fine, there is no need to take two pills today. Do know, however, that because the pill is being taken later than normal you may have some breakthrough bleeding. Go back to the normal time you were taking the pills for the remainder of the pill pack.
