A member asked:
How long is the window that you can take the mini pill late? i have taken it every day st 8:00 for the past 5 months but if i am late one day how late is too late?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too late: The mini pill is very unforgiving. It lasts in your system for just under 24 hours. So even a few hours late makes it less effective. I would take two today and use condoms for a month and take at the same time every day.
