A member asked:
If i am generally good with talking my birth control pills but i took my last pill 10 hours later than normal will it be less effective?

Depends.: If your pill is a progestin only pill then it could be less effective until you get back on schedule. For most pills that contain two hormones it will not be less effective from taking the pill at a different time. Taking the pill at a set time will certainly help you to be more consistent and less likely to forget to take the pill. Hope this helps.
