possibility of getting pregant
ok so im on birth control and take it every night at 8:00 but maybe once a week i will take it at like 10:00 or really late because i will be at work (waitressing) and forget or something throws me off. anyways last night me and my boyfriend had sex and he came inside me (he usually does- although we have quit doing that as much as we use too b/c it raises chance of pregnancy) and last night was one of the nights i took my birth control a few hours after my regular time. how bad is that to do?

You have nothing to worry about. Actually, as long as you take it within 12 hours you should be protected - although it's not smart to do that regularly. Two hours really isn't a cause for concern.

I couldn't tell you how bad it is... actually, yes, I could.
Having sex without a condom, whether you're on birth control or not, greatly increases your chances of getting pregnant, and getting STDs.
It's not smart to do that.
I've known some people that have taken their birth control at the same time every day for five years, and wore a condom, but still got pregnant. How? Because none of them are 100% effective contraceptives.
The only way to completely prevent getting pregnant is abstinence, so remember that.

IF you are not taking the pills at the same exact time EVERY SINGLE night, you cut the efectiveniess of the pills almost in half.
which means, you taking your pills late (even every once in a while) makes you MORE likely to get pregnant by 40-50%.
if you dont want to get pregnant, decrease your chances by using a condom, and try harder to take your pills on time. But remember that there is always a chance, no matter what precautions you take.
if your period is more than 3 days late next time around, take a test. Its best to find out as soon as possible so you can start prenatal care if you are pregnant.
