Well ive been taking birth control for
about 2 months now and I take them
everyday its just I dont take them the
same time everyday. I havent every missed
a day. Is there a possiblity that I can
get pregnant? Because I dont use any
backup protection(condoms) because it is
very painful

Hi:) regular combination birth control
pills are not as sensitive as the mini
pill, so you have some leeway. It is
highly reccomended that you take your pill
within about a 2 hour time frame everyday,
but on occasion up to 6 hours late will
not compromise your protection. The 6 hr
rule is only an every once in a while
thing, and should not be done regularly
due to the constant fluctuation of hormone
sthat may result. For best results try
and take it within a few hours.
