A member asked:
I took my birth control (loestrin 1.5/30) late by less than 1 hour. do i count this as a "missed' pill?

No: You should always try to take your pill at the sametime each day but being off by an hour or two does not constitute a missed pill. Going to take your pill today and finding yesterday's pill still in the pack is a missed pill!
