Hi, If you take one pill a day late then this can have a effect for the next 7-14 days on how effective the pill will be during this time at preventing pregnancy for you. Because of this you need to use a condom for this time frame and also continue taking your pills one daily.

How effective are birth contol pills when taken late?
If you are late taking one pill very rarely, as in maybe once every couple months, then the change is so low that it's nothing to be concerned about. In other words, it doesn't really affect the effectiveness of the birth control pills. However, if you are late taking them consistently, as is one or more times a week, it will reduce the effectiveness, but in many cases, not enough to cause too much concern. If this is the case, maybe you should change your "time" to the time at which you are regularly remembering to take them instead of the time you keep forgetting. Or you could also consult with your prescribing doctor about other forms of birth control medication that require less 'remembering.' It's when you begin to forget to take them at all that will really decrease its effectiveness. At any case, it's always a wise idea to include condoms in your plan.
