A member asked:

I was half an hour late taking my junel 1/20 birth control do i need to use another form of protection ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not particularly: It is good to keep daily meds on a consistent schedule but with this you do have some leeway on timing. An hour or so one way or the other is unlikely to trigger egg release.
