A member asked:
I took my birthcontrol 3 hours late. im on day 5 of the first week. is there any risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No not really: It is commendable that you are consistent with your birth control regiment. Being 3 hours late will not effect your birth control. If this is your first ever month of using birth control pills you will not have effective birth control until the 7th day. But if you have been on Birth control pills for many months this is not an issue. Just try not to miss one full day. Your OK.
