Hi board. I'm looking for some advice. Last Friday, I took my pill about 2.5 hours later than I usually do. When I remembered, I took it right away. I know this board considers 2 hours to be "perfect use" and that if you miss, you should take the pill for 7 straight days before you have sex without a backup. Well, I'm going to see my LDR boyfriend tomorrow, and I'm curious, should I be ok tomorrow? It will the the 7th day of "perfect usage" (given that I don't forget!), or should we still use a back up?

Thanks!

Hi becky,

As long as you have been doing everything else correctly you should be fine! 2 1/2 hours late is just a bit late not the end of the world. I hope you have a great time!

Take care,
