2 Late Pills In A Row

I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for quite a long time now. 2 weeks ago, I took the normal pill on Thursday night at 10pm, which is my regular time. But I forgot to take the Friday pill until 14 hours later, at noon on Saturday. Then, instead of taking the normal Saturday pill at 10pm, I took that one at 7am on Sunday morning. After that, I took all the rest of the pills at 10pm as usual, starting with Sunday night.

Is it a problem if I took the first pill 14 hours late and the 2nd pill 9 hours late? I abstained after that for 6 days, and then had intercourse. But because I wasn't sure, I took Plan B just in case. Now, I have been taking the pills as normal after that, but was wondering if I can rely on the birth control pills for the rest of the cycle.

Would appreciate your thoughts - thanks!

Hello, Lila! How are you?

Yes, they aren't actually considered as missed pills, unless a full 24 hours passes without taking them. Thus, the time gaps you've mentioned should be okay.

You should check with your doctor to be certain, but this is the way it usually works.

Is there anything else I can help with?
