A member asked:
Took first pill of lo loestrin fe an hour late, still protected? took all last pack as directed and got period at the end of last pack

Sounds fine: There is no noticeable difference in the level of protection whether a woman takes her Lo Loestrin at the exact clock hour each day, or takes her pill an hour sooner or an hour later. Lo Loestrin is a combination birth control pill. Combination pills are less time-sensitive than progestin-only mini-pills. For a combination pill, taking it within 2-3 hours of the desired time should still be fine.
