A member asked:
I take birth control pill on sat @ 1am. next pill taken is sun @ 7am. although more than 24hrs, is this still considered missed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: If you usually take the pill at 7am but one day took it at 1 am, you are ok. If you usually take your pill at 1 am but one day didn't remember until 7am you are ok. Try to take the pill around the same time every day. If you forget, effectiveness is only lowered a few percentage points. Take the pill as soon as you remember. Take the next pill at the regular time. Best wishes!
