Hey girls, So last night I was finishing my uni assignment, didn’t hear my pill reminder and forgot to take it at my usual time (9pm). I was about 9 and a half hours late in taking it. I’ve taken that pill this morning & will take the other one at normal time. But, is this considered late & do I have to use backup protection over next few days? This is the first time I’ve taken my pill this late ever.

What type of pill are you on?

unless you’re on a 3 hour mini pill you’re still protected

@Shsjivuhs on a combination pill.

You’re fine, combo pills have a 24 hour time frame.
