A member asked:
I was suppose to take my birthcontrol pill at 1:30 i am taking it 3 hours late would i be protected ?

No difference if...: If taking combination (2 hormone) birth control pills, being a few hours early or a few hours late with the daily pill should make no difference in the effectiveness for that month. If taking a mini-pill (1 hormone), 3-hours is probably still ok but a woman should give her prescribing doctor a call to get advice. This public forum is not for medical advice, but just basic information.
