Since every pill out there has different colors, I don't know what's in the white pills for your particular pill. But if you were late taking a reminder pill (week 4), that's no problem, just go on with life.

4 hours late with an active pill (weeks 1-3) isn't that big of a deal. It's not technically a missed pill, so you don't have to use backup protection if you don't want to, but you want to make sure that your next several pills are on time.

I hope that helps, if not ask! Good luck!

it was a 4th week reminder pill. thanks so much! i was worried even though i knew it probably wasn't a big deal if i missed an active pill, but they didn't really go over the information too much with me when i started the pill. thanks again!
