Taking Birth Control On Time!! Posted: 11-12-05 00:22am
What is considered late to take your birth
control? For examples, if I took my pill
regularly at 7:00 p.M. And I forgot about
it until 10:00 and took it then, is that
considered late? Well obviously.. But is
that something to really worry about? :?

I wouldn't really worry about that. When
I started, my doctor told me that a one
hour range (taking the pill one hour
before or one hour after a designated
time) is perfect, but two-three hours
shouldn't hurt anything, just don't make a
habit out of it. If you easily forget
about taking the pill, maybe you should
set your cellphone alarm or something like
that to help you remember. Once I forgot
my pill until about 5 hours after I was
supposed to take it. I didn't have any
side effects from it, but just to be safe
I didn't have any unprotected sex for a
week.
