Late Pill Help

Updated August 21, 2013

I took my loestrin 8 hours late (should have taken at 10pm but took at 6 an) and then I took my next pill as well at the same time. Because of this I have gone from taking my pill at night to taking it in the morning during the same pill packet. I had intercourse 3 days later. Am I considered to be safe? (Late pill happened on day 4)

Hi, Ann!

The problems arise from missing pills, which would mean taking it 24hours or more late. As long as you still took it in that time frame, you should still be protected against pregnancy, but should check with your doctor to be certain.

And taking two at once could cause a surge in hormones that may throw off your cycle, so you may get some breakthrough bleeding, or your period may be irregular this month.

Is there anything else I can help with?
