Question
I've been on loestren fe birth control for about 4 months and I have been real good at taking them on time but I accidentally took mine 3 hours late today? Am I at risk for pregnancy?

Answer
Cassandra,

3 hours shouldn't be that much of a problem. But really, I don't know if you know this but you can get pregnant even using birth control pills regularly. Because there is no birth control method that is 100% safe in preventing pregnancy. Are you having any kind of side effects from this birth control method? You can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
