Is Pregnancy Possible When Missing The Contraceptive Pill By A Few Hours?
I was late for my 12 hour birth control pill by 2 hours. I usually take it at 6.55am and have 12 hours afterwards until it is classed as a missed pill. I had sex with my boyfriend at around 2pm and then realised I hadn t taken my pill for the day so i took it at about 8pm. I m concerned about whether or not I could be pregnant due to the fact when we had sex my pill wasn t considered late yet, and not much sperm got inside of me anyway.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Well, birth control pill should be ideally taken at the same time. However, taking it late by 2 hours should not matter and come in way of offering you protection.
So you need not worry as of now and be relaxed. Once you get your periods in time, it says that you are safe.
All the best.
