    I wouldn't be worried if it was me. You can take it up to 12hours late and still be protected. . try not to worry.

    The "safe time" depents on the pill that you're on - some need to be taken within three hours.

    OP if you're worried, either take a test or go to your doctor.

    +1
    plus two late pills in a row would up the odds i'm sure, if your worried take a test, if anything it will ease your mind
    the friday morning was late taking the pill few hour late and had sex that evening and unfortunatelly same the next saturday morning I forgot my pill two hours late.

    If you're regularly forgetting to take your pill on time and don't want a baby then maybe you should look into alternative forms of contraception...

    With some pills there is little room for error and you have to take them at around the same time every day. If this is the type of pill you are on it evidently doesn't suit you. You should't really be bleeding if taking your pill properly so you should probably go back to your GP or Well Woman Clinic. If you don't want to get pregnant and you are forgetful then you should find a reliable contraception where you don't have to worry about taking pills at a certain time, the patch or implant for example. Go back to your doctor and discuss your options again.

    Don't mean to be smart here, OP, but if you mess up your pills, dont have unprotected sex with your bf that same night/day. Or at least make him were a condom.

    Secondly, perhaps set a timer on your phone or something. I think maybe the absence of bleeding if the period is due, is due to stress maybe. Stress can play awful havoc on your body when you are worrying

    OP, there are some pills which have to be taken on time and have just a tiny window of error, other pills have a 12 hour window. Read the booklet on your pill packet / go speak to your pharmacist / doctor.

    OP, seriously, if you have unprotected sex at least make sure he wears a condom. And if the pill is making you bleed, or if you miss it you are bleeding, then you need to do something about that...and maybe consider an alternative method...
