A member asked:
I took my combination birth control pill ( generic of lutera) 35 minutes late today. will i still be protected if i had unprotected sex two days ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You are still protected if you take your combination birth control pills daily, even if you miss your usual time by 35 minutes. In fact, though its not recommended, you could be hours late and you would still be protected. Best wishes!
