Should be fine.: If you are taking a standard pill with two hormones in it then you should still be protected. If you realize that you missed a pill then just take it then and continue with the pill pack as directed even if this means that you take two pills a day to catch up. Obviously try not to miss a pill to often. Hope this helps.

NO: The only reason to take it at the same time is to help remember it. The precise time has no effect on the chance of failure. The most common reason for failure is completely missing a day.
