Sex + Late Pill....Possibly Pregnant?

Ok, here's the situation. Today, I had sex with my BF, without a condom, about 3 hours before I was scheduled to take my pill, Ortho Tri-cyclen lo. Somehow, I forgot to take it at my scheduled time and ended up taking it about 4 hours late.

So, I'm just a little bit worried about possibly being pregnant. I'm in my second week of pills this month and have always taken them on time except for today. Do I need to be using backup for the next week?

Thanks for listening and any advice you have. :)

Hi aerogroupe, welcome!

If you were just a late with one pill then there is no need to use back-up. See:

Thanks for stopping by.
