A member asked:
I take bc pills at 6am (10 min before or after sometimes) but sometimes i take it at 4am (saturdays) is my pill still completely effective?

Consistent usage: It sounds as though you are taking your oral contraceptive pill (OCP) as directed. Your OCP will be maximally effective on your current regimen, however no contraceptive is 100%. There is still a 1/1000% chance that you can become pregnant following unprotected vaginal intercourse.
