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.

How many days in a pregnancy after conception?
A full term human pregnancy is to 259 - 280 days or 37-40 weeks. This is calculated from the first day of your last period, so to be more accurate, if conception took place 14 days after the first day of your last period, you need to subtract 14 days from the 259-280 days. However, the way the medical community gages it, a woman is considered 2 weeks pregnant the day she conceives because they chart the pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual cycle.
