On Sunday I started a new pack of bc pills (I've been on the pill for over a year). Well on Sunday I took the pill at 1:50 and yesterday I took it at 3:00 and had sex. Will this affect anything?

Hi baby_girl24,

Hon, it depends on when your regular pill-time is. If you took your pill +/-2 hours of your regular time (what this board considers on-time) you should be fine. If you were between 2 and 8 hours off your normal time that is considered late and more than 8 hours late I consider a miss. If you miss a pill you should use back-up for at least the next 7 days of correct active pill use. Thanks for posting.

Take care,

      Jill
