A member asked:
Can taking a birth control pill 4 hours late cause cramping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Some women are sensitive to missing pills or taking late ( more than 1-2hrs), and can get spotting and occasionally cramps. If you miss or are often late in taking pills, ask you dr about a longer acting method of birth control.
