A member asked:
Should i take my bc pill now after i'm 4 hours late? or just double up tomorrow? it's my 3rd week on it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just take it now BUT: one should not assume OCP's are effective for the first month one is on them. So... you aren't reliably protected anyway. But likely will be by next month.
