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.
They usually last six months.

What are the causes of using contraceptives?
The main reason is to have sex without getting pregnant. Some might take birth control pills because they have conditions that make pregnancy unsafe for them. For instance, they might have diabetes, heart disease, asthma, or problems with their female parts, so they take birth control pills so they won't get pregnant and risk their lives or produce deformed offspring. Some medications are so dangerous to possible offspring that doctors will make women take birth control pills with them. A few who live in dangerous locations might use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy from rape.
Some people take contraceptive pills for reasons that have nothing to do with pregnancy. They may take them for skin conditions such as acne. Male to female transsexuals may also take birth control pills to help get female secondary features.
If we include condoms and similar barrier devices, then the purpose is to not only prevent pregnancy, but to reduce the chances of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.
