Two hours late taking the pill - am I ok?

I just realized I was 2 hours late taking my birth control pill tonight. Do you think I am still ok?

    Nothing bad will happen to you if you're a couple hours late on taking your pill, or even if you forget to take your pill one night (which you could still take as soon as you remember that you need to take it.)

    Just don't make a habit of taking your pill at different times each day/night. Your body needs to adjust to the consistancy of taking the pills at the same time every day so that way it can keep on track with your period cycle, and this also ensures that the pills will do what they are supposed to do.

    As for now though, no worries! You're fine, just keep taking your pills at the same time every day and you'll be ok. :)

    You are allowed a few hours leeway when taking your pills. So you are OK.
