Even if you take it an hour late, you should be fine. It will work the same way, just don't make it a habit to be taken late :) hope this helped!

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.
How late can you take the pill for it to still be effective?
You can take your birth control at any time that is convenient for you, as long as you take your birth control every day at the same time.
What if i take my birth control late because i want to get pregnant can i?
If you want to get pregnant, it makes more sense to stop birth control.
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.
You put on a birth control patch a week late Can it make your period late?
Your period may be late if you started the birth control patch a week late. If you had sex during that time, you may be at risk for pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test to be sure.
What if you normally take yhur birth control pill at 4 but you was 25 minutes late will that hurt anything?
no it will not hurt anything....just take it as soon as you remember and then take the next pill at the same time that you normally would
Is it okay to take your birth control pill 30 minutes early?
Yes. No problem.
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.
Will taking birth control and different times of the day make a period late?
Yes. As directed by all doctors and on the instruction labels of all birth control pills, you are supposed to take your birth control everyday and at the same time. If you take your birth control at different times everyday, it is not allowing the birth control to adapt in your body the way it is supposed to and it decreases the effectiveness of the birth control as well. Some side effects of taking your pill at different times of each day may include: pregnancy, late/irregular periods, and spotting or breakthrough bleeding.
Should you take a pregnancy test after in and out?
If your period is 5 days late, then yes. In-and-out is not a reliable birth control method.
Can skipping birth control make you pregnant?
Yes. All you have to do is skip one pill or take it too late that day.
What happens if you start your first birth control pill at night and take the next one the next morning?
Taking the next birth control pill early does not impact effectiveness. Taking it late may.
