A member asked:

I take my birth control between 10:00-11:00. can i get pregnant for not taking it at the exact same time everyday ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If the delay is more than 12 hours, there is a risk with low dose pills that the pituitary could stimulate the ovary and a rogue egg escapes.
