"I take the contraceptive pill and I had unprotected sex. That night I took it 3 hours late. Is there a risk of pregnancy?"

If you have missed taking your birth control pill by a few hours, it is unlikely to affect its effectiveness. However, if you have missed a pill by more than 24 hours, there may be a risk of reduced effectiveness. In such cases, emergency contraception (morning-after pill) can be considered if you have had unprotected sex on the day of the missed pill or within the 5 days prior. It is important to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate the situation and potentially prescribe emergency contraception if needed. If taking your pill at the same time every day becomes challenging, there are alternative hormonal contraception options such as the vaginal ring, IUD, or patch that you can discuss with your pharmacist or healthcare provider.
