Question about the Pill.

If its within an hour or two difference from day to day of taking the pill - do you still have a change of becoming pregnant? What i mean is you take it one day at 9 am and the next day at 10 am.

I know you're supposed to take it at the same time every day - but i sometimes forget....

I don't think im pregnant - but something tells me I should start being extra careful about it now since DD is not even 3 months.....

TIA

I can see her expression on the avator being my expression if godforbid i got pregnant this quick again!!

i don't think an hour or 2 is a big deal. I hope not, for my sake as well as yours

love the avatar pic, btw!!

Re: Question about the Pill.

I don't think its a big deal as long as its the regular bc pills and not the mini-pill. If its the mini-pill then you only have a 3-hour window... but the regular estrogen & progesterone pills have a much larger window... so one hour won't make a difference.

I get nervous too. Luke is inly 4 months and I am not good with the pill... I think I'm gonna switch to something else.

I know that feeling... being nervous about another so soon. I think you are supposed to take it AROUND the same time everyday, but it doesn't have to be exact. A quick call to the GYNO might make you feel better.

Re: Question about the Pill.

when i was on the regular pill i used to take it at all times of the day and in 9 years i never got pregnant. I just got a prescription for the mini-pill and my doctor said make sure to take it within an hour before/after. so if you take it at 9:00 one day, make sure you take it between 8:00 and 10:00 the next day.
