Possibly: The progestin only pills , as opposed to the pills that also contain estrogen, work by thickening the cervical mucous- and must be taken every day - same time - or the mucous will thin and sperm can easily be transported. Depending on where you are in your cycle - ex. Ovulation / there is a risk for pregnancy.
