Don't worry. The times your taking it are fine, but ofcourse the more often you take it the same time the better it works. It is ok to have sex without a condom while on the pill, but the pill is only 99% effective when taken as prescribed so the more precautions you take the better. I wouldn't worry about your period to much just give it a couple days.Birth control with no condem? pregnant?
anything is possible
I am pretty sure you are not pregnant. You seem to be very accurate about taking the pill. Taking it a couple hours earlier or later is ok. The pill isn't 100% effective but if you take it correctly it's 99% so i'd say you are probably ok. And yes you can have unprotected sex while on birth control as long asyou know he doesn't have any STDs b/c you can still get them.
you can get pregnant on birth control. you really should take your pill at the same time everyday. but on occasion its ok to take it alittle bit later than usual. your period will change days that it starts even when you are on birth control. when i first started taking it i would start like on that saturday of the green pills, but by the time i was off of them i would start on tuesday. so i wouldnt stress over just one day. now come thursday and you havent started yet i would go to the docotor or get a test.
you have about a four hour window where you can take the pill normally. However the lo hormone pills carry a higher pregnancy risk then the full hormone pills so it is important to try and take in at the same time every day.


You are probably fine since you are taking the pill everyday and at around the same time. If you don't start your period in a couple of days then take an at home test. If it is negative take on again in a couple of days. If you are still negative and haven't gotten your period then you should probably talk to you doctor to make sure there isn't anything more serious going on.


Some lo hormone pills, will cause you to not have a period. Mine did the first time I was on them.
If you have taken your pill everyday then you are most likely not pregnant so I would not worry.
