Question: Am I still 99% protected if I take my missed pill at the same time as the next one the next day?
Birth control pills , levlen ED -thank you!

Answers:

I would say Yes because the directions say if you miss one pill take it as soon as you remember but you don't need backup birth control. I think if you weren't protected or less protected then normal I think it would say use a backup.



can`t say for 100% sure, but you`re probably mostly okay....maybe. There is still a risk.
Don`t don`t make a habit of it though, they only work that 99% by maintaining those hormone levels in your system, and missing a dose alters that.

You wont know for sure till you get your next period. A pregnancy test wouldn`t work till then anyways.



No. You have the possibility of ovulating even if you take it too late (three hours for combination pills, one hour for the mini-pill) and you should use back up protection for the next seven days.



No, also you're supposed to take the missed pill as soon as you remember you missed it, then take the next dose at its regular time.
