Question
Hello,

 How bad is it if you take your pill about 10 hours late around a week before
you have sex then take it late around 4 hours late a couple days after you have
sex, what are the chances or percentage that I could be pregnant?

Answer
In my opinion, this should not affect much. But anytime you have sex you do risk pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted diseases.  Do you have any other pregnancy symptoms at this point? You can get a free pregnancy test by finding a local pregnancy resource center. You can find one at http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Or try

Please email me privately at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what is happening.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
