Hi all. I just have a quick question. I was supposed to start taking my new pack of pills on Saturday morning and i usually take them at 6am. However, on Saturday I had to go pick up the new pack of pills from the pharmacy so I never started the pack until 9am. This morning I took the pill at the usual 6am. I was wondering of I should be concerned since I know on time is either 2 hours before or after the normal time. SHould I use backup for the next 7 days or should I be ok? I've been on the pill for about 5 months now. Thanks

Hi gem1405, welcome!

Three hours late starting a new pack isn't great but I think you should be ok. However, if you feel at all concerned, it never hurts to use back-up. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Take care,
