Does Irregular Usage Of Lo Loestrin Fe Ensure Protection?

Hello, I just started taking lo loestrin fe. I take my pills at 9 PM. However, I did take the 2nd pill late. I took it about 12 hours late. I took the 7th pill on 5/29 at 9 pm. had sex on 5/30 at 1:30 pm and then took my 8th pill at 9pm on 5/30. Am i still protected or should i take an emergency contraceptive?

Hi I think if you took the missed pill as soon as you remembered and continued the rest pills as scheduled, you are protected. There is no need to take emergency pill. Continue the rest pills as scheduled. Hope it helps.
