A member asked:
I am on a combination birth control pill (lo lestorin fe) and i took my birth control 4 hours late and then had sex. am i safe from pregnancy? im not sure if he came a little in me or not?

The pill works by maintaining a hormone level that signals your ovaries not to release eggs. As long as that level is relatively constant, ie. you don't skip a few days and take it near the same time daily the hormone level reaches a steady state & works 24/7. A few hours late once in a while should not matter.
