How many minutes late is too late for the mini pill? is 15-30 after your scheduled time too late? for example if i always take it at 8pm and one night i take it at 8:15 should i use back up?

You should be ok: 15-20 minutes would probably be ok with the mini pill. Try to take it at the same time daily. It is certainly not as effective as the combination pill and added protection with condoms is never a bad idea
