the pill -- time

[xoxoKahluaxoxo]

my doctor told me to take the pill at generally the same time everyday. I was wondering how off you had to be to really mess it up? For example, I usually take it at 6 pm, but one night i forgot until 8pm. Could that increase my chances of becoming pregnant?

thanks,

the more time that passes... the more your chances increase
I think an hour is OK... I don't know how much time can pass before it starts to affect the effectiveness.

if you are less than twelve hours late, dont worry just take the delayed pill and further pills as usual thats all, so just take the one you missed if your less than twelve hours
