Er very low risk. The condom probably worked to prevent pregnancy anyway. I don't know what type of pill you are on and I know the mini-pill has to be taken at the same time every day but with some combined pills you have a few hours' leeway. Do you have the information that comes with the pill? it should tell you. Most of them say that contraceptive effectiveness is not changed if you are a few hours late, sometimes up to 12. I'm sure you'll be fine.
I take Estrostep FE
It's a 28-day pack
I believe they are combined pills (3 weeks of active pills and 1 week of Iron pills) Report It

    • not high dont worry
    with a condom you've got pretty much nothing to worry about, you've gotta really be consistant with the pills though, or else they wont work as theyre supposed to
    As long as your on the pill..AND using protection..your chances are so low... and a few hours difference isn't so bad if it's not being missed constantly
    You're already 3 months pregnant. Way to go.
