taking bc properly

[PistolSmoke]

ok how do u properly take the birth control pill. my gf thinks she is taking them correctly. she dont take them every night at exact time. she takes them between 9pm and 11pm every night. i told her it needs to be around same time and she siad u could have a 2 hour gap from the last night u took them??

my last question is if she forgot to take one last night, she said she has to take 2 pills the next night to correct its effectivness or something, is that true? or if u forget one night ur screwed for the whole month?

Read the sticky, this forum, Caution: Take Only As Directed. This explains how the pill works and cautions to follow instructions. Some pills instructions vary slightly from others because there are many different formulations.

Her packet of pills has an instruction sheet that includes what to do if she misses a pill. And the prescriber should have gone over this in detail.

Generally, two hours is not an issue.
