Hey everyone, I already posted this but on the wrong message board. Anyways my story short:

I usually take my pill between 10 and 10 30. I've never taken it any later than that, except the other day, when around 12 45 I realized...OH NO! I forgot to take my pill (my friends surprised me at work, and we went out, and seeing as I didn't know I was going to be going out, I didn't have the pack with me). Anyways, my question is...should I be worried, me and my boyfriend don't use any other type of back up, except that I don't let him cum inside of me ever. My pills are of combined hormones, not just one but two, in case that helps at all.

Anyways I'd really appreciate some advice of some sort, or some input or some stories of similar experiences and how everything turned out.

Thank you everyone!

Hi mystifyingl, welcome!

This board does consider +/-2 hrs. as being on time, but 2 3/4 (10:00 - 12:45) hours late with a combined pill isn't the end of the world. It would have been more serious if you were on a progestin only pill. If that is all you are concerned about you should be fine! Thanks for posting.

Hugs,
