A member asked:
How late can you be taking a bc pill & it affects you ? will 15-20 mins late everyday make a difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You will feel best if you take it around the same time every day but if you are off an hour or two it won't make a huge difference. Your pill will still be effective as long as you take one pill every 24 hours but if you are way off on the timing you might have some breakthrough bleeding. Best wishes .
