Taking a Pill Late
Posted: 05-15-07 13:04pm

Ok, I'm really just asking this for reassurance but, I took my pill about 20 minutes late the other day, had sex the next night (after taking my pill on time for that day). I should be alright, considering I've taken it on time (give or take a minute or two) the rest of the time i've been on it, right?

Thanks!

You are fine if it was only 20 min. Don't worry!

Being 20 minutes late is not a big deal.

Yes like previous posters stated....20 mins is nothing dear. That won't make a difference.

yea that's nothing.. the reason why they tell you to take it on time is to make sure you don't forget... but i also have a question. So i'm on birth control and i ALWAYS forget to take it so im always like taking it at different times... and i used the "pulling out" method with my boyfriend for the first time today.. and im sorta scared that im ganna get pregant. But right after i took a shower and tried like cleaning myself out really good and everything. what should i do?
