A member asked:

On bc pill, period was one day late. forgot 2nd to last pill and took it 6 hours late. took last pill on time. did taking that pill late cause delay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not if a 28-day pack: With a 28-day pack, the last row of pills (of a different color) are inactive pills that don't contain hormones. Therefore, whether or not a person takes those inactive pills does not change the timing of her withdrawal bleeding. Generally, the inactive pills don't affect anything.
