A member asked:
Is it okay that i've been taking my birth control anywhere from 10am-12pm... once i took it at 6pm after almost forgetting. am i still in a good track?

Missing the pill: Yes you should be fine. The pill has a good half life meaning that you have some time before the levels drop to become ineffective. The recommendation is to take the pill at the same time everyday so you don't forget. Like in the morning or evening when you are brushing your teeth.
