If i dont take the pill at the SAME time EVERYDAY will i get pregnant?!


Question: If i dont take the pill at the SAME time EVERYDAY will i get pregnant?
Im on the pill called 'yasmin', im on it because i have P.C.O.S. i currently use condoms, but as im on the pill i would like to try not using condoms but im worried that i might get pregnant (because i cant see it like you can a condom it makes me worried to), i dont take it at the same time everyday due to different circumstance's, and was wondering if i have sex will i get pregnant?? i never miss days, i just sometimes take it earlier or later than i did the previous day, could be from 5Min's to 5 hours late...

Answers:

Even 5 hours is within the 12 hour efficacy window, so you will maintain contraceptive cover, which with a combined pill like Yasmin is 99.8%. However I don't really see why you can't tighten up on your pill taking and get it as close as possible to the same time each day, whatever you are doing.

GP for more years than I care to remember



hi if this isa mini pill then they should really b taken at the same time every day but if it is not a mini pill then it does not matter what time you take it so relax just because you cant see it doesnt mean it is not working as long as you take it every day you will be fine. Oh and if you ever go on antibiotics remember they affect the pill so you will need to use condoms then,and for 7 days after you finish them. Hope this helps



Taking it at the same time everyday is going to make it most effective.Set an alarm on your cell to take it or take it when you brush your teeth in the morning.Yes,you could get pregnant I think.You can get in the habit of taking it at the same time daily,trust me.I would still use the condoms until you can do it.
