Yeah i have my birth control pill and I take them every day but not always at the same time eveyday. I really didnt think that it mattered what time you took it as long as you took one every day. my boyfriend and I had unportected sex and I was wonder what are my chances of being pregnant

Your chances are VERY high. The purpose of taking them at the same time everyday is to have an even level of medication in your system. Think of it as each pill lasting for 12 hours. If you're taking them every 16 hours there is a four hour lapse of the pill in your system. Make sense?

Slim to none really...........Birth control is only 95% effective But you also should use a condom Just to be 100% coverd. I know people say you should take the pill the same time each time but I doesn't matter as long as long as you take one each and everyday. And docs say it takes three months for birth control to wear off that is a lie The day I stopped taking mine I got pregnant, So and that was on the patch. Good Luck and just to be sure you don't get pregnant use both a condom and the pill

The pill is 99.9% effective and I don't think it should matter too much when you take it as long as you took it that day. You actually have to miss up to 3 for the chances to be higher. I'm not saying there is 0 chance but very unlikely I would think and I've been on the pill for 10 years.

The normal pill you can take any time of day usully they just say the same time so you try to remember more, unless your on the non combination pill then its a must of taking it at the exact time of day.
I sure you take the other pill thats most commen, i only take the noncombo because of breastfeeding dont think you have that proublem :P
But i dont think you have any risk really of being pregnant, just take a test in a month if you havent gotten your period

you have to take the pill at the same time everyday. trust me! one day i forgot to pill and as soon as i thought about it i took it. i had sex and got pregnant. your best bet is to get the patch or the shot. the shot lasts for i think it was 3 months. if u have a hard time remembering to take ur pill then the shot or the patch would be the best bet.

It really depends on the kind of pill. Some don't matter what time, but others must be taken at the exact same time every day or they don't work at all.

you are not pregnant, but you are increasing your chances. when taken properly, same time every day, it is 99% effective. get into a routine of taking at the same time that you do something everyday. like brushing your teeth in the morning or as you get ready to go to bed at night.

If you are taking it every day and never miss any, then the chances of you being pregnant are very slim. You don't have to take them at say 9am each day, just try to keep it close, say morning, afternoon or evening.

whether you take at same time every day or not your chances are still only 97% of not getting pregnant and 3% of getting that way the only one and true way worry free way to keep from getting pregnant especially if you are not ready DONT HAVE SEX PERIOD there is always a chance of you getting pregnant .......if you are having sex period

They say to take them at the same time everyday for a reason, so then yes there could be a possiblity that you are pregnant.
