    Ten minutes should be fine.

    vinarabo: There is NO baby so it is not abortion. Not unless it's immaculate conception for those who don't have sex. Get your facts straight on the pill. People take it for medical reasons also. Just because the mechanics are there does not make a law everyone must have babies. God says so. He causes infertility and abortions (miscarriages)Himself.

    Source(s): 44 and on the pill 14 years for medical reasons. Cannot have kids without the pill.

    I never took mine at the same time , due to the fact I'd get up at different times and mine always worked. I used to miss a day too and they said to take 2 the next day to make up for it. But dont go over missing 3 days and trying to catch up. And if its just a 10minute time difference its ok. NO HARM done.

    im on seasonle and I never took mine at the same time like your suppose to, beacause i would always forget to take it. I used to miss a day too and they said to take 2 the next day to make up for it. they say that if you dont take it at the same time every day that the chance of you getting pregnant will decrease to 92% instead of 99%. if its just a 10minute time difference its ok.

  • Dont take the birth control. God wants you to be open to life when you have marital relations. Birth control causes the egg not to attach to the womb causing an abortion. This ends the life of the baby that has started to grow.

    The question is do you really want it to work?
