Should I be concerned about late pill?
| Wed, 03-22-2006 - 9:52am |
Yesterday I was 4 hours late taking my pill and today I just plain forgot to bring it to work with me so I will be about 6 hours late. I could go home and take it but that would take 30 minutes out of my day that I would really rather not take. My finace and I are in a long distance relationship and the last time we had sex was a little over 2 months ago and we will not be seeing each other again for a little over 2 months. Do I need to rush home to take this or is 2 days in a row being late going to make a difference 2 months from now?

Hi starry_eyed_one, welcome back!
Two late pills now won't affect your protection two months from now so you should be fine when you see your guy again. If you are very sensitive to hormonal fluctuations you may have some spotting.
If you are having a hard time remembering your pills you might want to change your pill time to one that is more convenient and since DF is away this would be a great time to move it and not have to worry about the need for back-up.
Thanks for posting. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck.
