Yes, it is still OK. However, to achieve the highest percentage of reliability, it is advised to take the pill at the same time every day. The more varied the your schedule in taking the pill, the more you lower the pill's reliability.

∙ 13y agoDepends if your on the normal "full" pill which has both the hormones or if your on the pill with only one hormone in it or if your on the mini-pill. The full pill can be taken up to 12 hours late safely. The mini-pill must be taken within the same hour, and the other type of pill I'm not sure on but I think it's similar to mini-pill. Ask your doctor, chemist or sexual health clinic

∙ 12y agoYes, you should try to take The Pill at the same time everyday, if late take it as soon as you remember. If you are on a progestin-only pill and take it three hours later, use a back up method for 48 hours after the late pill.

What if you take your birth control pill 30 minutes late?
I forgot for 5 hours one time and freaked out...the pharmacist laughed at me.
Does it matter if you are off by ten minutes on your birth control?
I am on the desogen birth control pill, and the instructions say to take it "around the same time" every day. That means you can be 10-15 minutes late taking the pill with no side effects. After taking it more than 45 minutes late though, you start to run into dangerous territory. I don't reccomend ever being more than 15 to 20 minutes late taking it, EVER. I have been on the pill for one year now.
If you take the morning after pill and contiue to take the birth control pill is the birth control still effective for the rest of the month?
If you had missed a pill or been late with a pill, causing you to take the morning after pill, then you should use a back up method of birth control for the next seven days. If you didn't forget a pill or take a pill late, then I'm not sure why you took the morning after pill, but the birth control pill will still be effective even though you took the morning after pill. The morning after pill doesn't make the birth control pill less effective.

I took the birth control pill 1 hour late?
If you're on the progestin only pill ("minipill", such as Micronor, NoreBe, or Cerazette), you should use a backup method of birth control if you're more than three hours late. Us the backup method for the next two days after the late pill (or 14 days if you took ulipristal for emergency contraception). If you're on the combination (regular) birth control pill, you don't need to worry about a backup method unless you're more than 24 hours late.
