Hi, I am on the birth control pill but have taken at very different times of the day this past month. I had sex but we also used withdrawl...should I be concerned?

im horrible with my pills too. taking them inconsistently puts you at a higher risk of getting pregnant. all you can really do now is wait for AF or test about 2 weeks after the deed.

I've never totally missed a pill...but i've been waking up much later and taking them much later. Is there any way safe way to switching to take pills at night instead of morning?

"Plan B(R) should be taken within three days (72 hours) of intercourse, ideally within the first 24 hours after unprotected sex. When taken as directed, Plan B(R) has been shown to reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 89 percent." That is from the EC page on this message board.
