Late Birth Control?!
Question: Late Birth Control!?
I'm on yaz, and I'm sort of worried!. I take my pill about an hour late sometimes, because my phone reminder is always an hour earlier and I wait to take it!. My time I take it is about 6:30, and sometimes I take 7:30!. Is this fine!?
When I'm planning to have sex though I take it religiously for 7 days!.
I'm so worried about getting pregnant though! I made my boyfriend buy plan b, we use spermicides and the pull out method!.

Sounds to me like you are fine! Make sure you don't skip your pills all together!. An hour or so off maybe even up to 3 or four hours your should be perfectly fine!. HOWEVER if you ever skip a pill you are not fine!. Skipping a pill and having sex can lead to pregnancy!. Don't be slack of course take your pill on time everyday as normal as possible as that is when they are most effective!. You really sound like you are covering your bases!.
Remember pills aren't 100% effective anyway!. If you are that worried about it you need to be using condoms too!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

In terms of preventing pregnancy, one hour late on your pills should not make a difference in their effectiveness!.
However, if you are taking them late frequently, you may experience some breakthrough bleeding (BTB)!. This is very irregular bleeding that may be heavy or light, may be pink, red, or brown!. If you start noticing this, then make sure to take your pill at the same time everyday!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

One hour shouldn't really make much of a difference!.
If you take birth control AND spermicides then I think you should be fine and wouldn't need to use the Plan B!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
