Birth control pill question.

[x__amour]

Sorry if this seems silly. I'm on my 2nd year of taking the pill (minus during DS's pregnancy of course) and I have never been late taking or missed a pill. Last night I was really flustered and noticed about 4 hours later my pill was on my nightstand. I took it immediately and was just wondering if I have anything to be concerned about?

TIA.

I don't think so. It's most effective taken at the same time, but as long as it's within 12 hours of the usual time it's taken you're fine (going off my pill leaflet)

Only if it's the mini pill you have to be concerned, if it's the combined pill (with oestrogen as well) you'll be fine.
