A member asked:
If i take the birth control pill 12 hours later the usual, does that give me a whole new chance of getting pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shouldn't, but: Missing pills does increase the chance of ovulation occurring, but if you remembered it 12 hours later, then took the next pill on time (in another 12 hours) - the chance of getting pregnant due to that - is low.
