A member asked:
Took a bcp 2hrs late but had unprotected sex the night before.can you still get pregnant since sperm can last up to a week inside a woman's body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 hrs late may be ok: A woman on birth control pills, taking them properly, and beyond her first pack of pills... has no fertile day and has no fertile week. She is not fertile when on birth control pills. That means she has protection against pregnancy every day, regardless of where she is in her pill pack. If using combination pills (contain estrogen and progesterone) taking a pill 2 hrs late should still work ok.
