I was wondering if you can get pregnant if you take your pills a few hours late. I take mine everyday at 12 and yesterday I had school orentation and I left my bag at home. I took my pill once I got home a 5... and my husband and I decided to... well is there a possibility I could get pregnant? (also it is the 14th day of my pack)

usually you have to miss a day, but you never know. Read the paper that comes with the pills it might answer your question.

It isn't likely that a few hours will make a difference. However, since you're just starting the pack, most doctors recommend you use a back up form of birth control for at least 2-3 months so that your body can adjust to the medication properly. If you don't want a baby right now, you should be using two forms of birth control until you start your 3rd pack. Also, I must remind you that the pill isn't 100% effective, so yes, there's always a chance of pregnancy.

If you took the pill 5 hours later than usualy, there is no problem. If you really want to be safe, continue to use a condom for the rest of the month/package. Also read the instructions in the package of the pill, this kind of information usually comes in there.

Honey, next time use spell verify! i'd say this early in being pregnant you would not be gaining weight. All different indications will be rigidity. You lacking your era will be touching on to taking the pills and bc can make you sense like you're pregnant. Take a being pregnant try and also you would have your answer!

Usually as long as you don't miss a 24 hour period it's ok. But be sure not to miss a day and try to do that "doubling up" method b/c it doesn't work! (Trust me on that!)

yes that happened to me and i had twins, im serious, austin and keith, a year old yesterday. be very careful with the pill.
from now on, set the alarm on your cell phone to remember to take them. or switch over to depo, that's what i'm going to do.
