i have been on birth control for a loong
time now. and i have to admit i dont take
it at the same time on the weekends as i
do during the week. usually its about 2 or
3 hours later. anyways, my boyfriend and i
had unprotected sex last night and he went
inside of me. according to the research i
have done, i should be ovulating in about
2 days. should i be worried about
pregnancy?

You should be fine if you take it within
2-3 hours. I believe you have to be 6
hours late for it to be concidered missed.
However, if you are on a low dose it could
cause some breakthrough bleeding and you
should be very careful about taking it on
time. While you may take it a few hours
late occasionally, you should not let this
happen on a regular basis.

Technically it would need to be 12 hours
late before it could be a mised pill..
The pill stops ovulation!! It takes
control over your body, so the 'rules'
about when you ovulate do not count when
you are on the pill.

Right. You were not late enough for it to
really be a problem. Keep taking it every
day and at roughly the same time every
day. However, keep in mind that no method
of birth control is 100%. So even if you
take the pill exactly as intended, there
is still a small chance of pregnancy. You
can use something like spermicide for
extra protection if you want.

Don't worry. You'll be fine! That is why
you went on birth control, so you wouldn't
have to worry about things like this. Let
it do its job and try to enjoy yourself in
the meantime.

I always have an alarm go off when it's
time to take my pill everynight. I use my
phone so if I am out and about I can still
take it, so I also try to remember to take
the pills with me if I know I wont be
home. I used to always be late on taking
it, because I would come home from work
and relax and do other things, then
suddenly it's late and I am lying in
bed.."oh shoot, gotta take my pill!" Lol.
Like everyone else is saying though. I
dont think you have anything to worry
about.
