ANOTHER Pill Problem

Okay, situation:

Boyfriend is coming up to visit me at Uni on Saturday & is staying over. Obviously we will be doing the deed :rolleyes: . However, I just started the pill last Thursday & wondered if I will be okay (protection wise) for Saturday? I have been taking the pill every day but took the pill an hour or two later than planned on the friday because I forgot. Will this effect it?

statistically speaking you should be "covered" because youve been taking it for 10 days - it usually takes 7 days for it to become effective. if your worried just use a condom until your 10% confident with just using the pill.

What do you mean about it having a '12 hour window'?

As long as you remember to take your pill within 12 hours, you're still protected.
