What else can I help you with?
If you missed one pill and took it the next morning and took your next pill twenty hours late do you run risks of pregnancy?
Yes. If you take a pill more than 12 hours late you have an increased risk of pregnancy. If this is the case I suggest the morning after pill to be safe :)
What to do if you took your pill earlier than usual?
If you took your pill earlier, there is no additional risk of pregnancy. If you're on the combination pill you can take your next pill at the usual time or the new early time. If you're on the progestin only pill, take your next pill within three hours of the time you took today's pill.
If you take a pill 6 hours early by mistake is it okay to take the next pill at your regularly scheduled time the next day or will doing so have the same effect as missing a pill?
This is fine. It wont have the effect of missing the pill because you didnt miss a pill, you just took one pill 6 hours earlier than usual for you. Try to stay nearer the time for your medication but you are protected still against pregnancy.
If you missed one pill and took it the next morning and took your next pill five hours late does this count as two missed pills?
It is good that you read the intructions but if you miss one pill an dthen take it next day it will not be a problem it happend to me . if you read the instruction they will tell you that after 12 hrs passing the time to take the pill you have more risk. but take the forgotten pill and the other one a regular time if it do not pass the 12 hrs.
I have been given five pills and i have to take one pill every half hour how many hours does it take me to take all my pills?
Two hours.
Can you set another time to take your birth control pill even if you already started taking them?
Yes you can, but you have to do it gradually. You need to make sure to take the next pill at least 30 hours after the last one, in order for them to work. But if you take your pill at 6 pm, the next day at 7 pm and so on until you have a time that suits you, you are still protected.
If you take the pill two hours after you normally do does that count as a missed dose?
No this isn't a missed dose. A missed dose is when you do not take a pill for 24 hours.
Is it okay to take your birth control pill a few hours early?
Yes, you can take the pill a few hours early. Early is not a problem; late is a problem.
In your first pack of pills you missed your second pill by 4 hours what are your chances of getting pregnant?
You can miss any pill (so I assume also your second pill in your first pack) by max 12 hours. As long as you take the pill within those 12 hours and take the next one at the normal time, you should be fine.So for example, if you took your first pill at 7 pm and your second one the next day at 11 pm, you should take your third one at 7 pm again the day after that.This information should also be given in the package leaflet. My advise would be to read that leaflet carefully, because it has some important information in it.
If you missed your last active pill but you took it around 24 hours late and you continue to take your off-week pills and then start your next pack as usual next Sunday will you be protected?
You should be. Missing a pill and taking it the next day should be ok. Add to that the fact you are about to start your no-hormone week and you should be fine. The pill packages have detailed instructions on what to do if you miss a pill and how many you can safely miss and whatnot. It is well worth the time to read it so you can be better prepared in the future.
What if you take the pill in 46 hours will it take affect?
It will take affect after 1 hour.
Do you have to take 2 doses if you miss a pill?
Yea, if you miss a pill one day you have to take it as soon as you remember the next day.
