Question

will i be fine and just continue tomorrow with the actual time i am suppose to take it? or do i need a back up method? or do i need to take another pill or start up a new pack? help? what should i do?

Answer 1

You'll be fine.  It's good that you take it at the same time everyday but not mandatory as long as you take it everyday you'll be fine. Only if you miss taking a pill that day do you need to consider the back up method.  So don't take an extra pill or start up a new pack.  Calm down and relax, it's okay.

Answer 2

Nope, you will be fine.  Just continue taking it at your normal time.  Being 10 minutes off isn't going to affect you.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter.  You could take it hours apart and it wouldn't matter.. You don't need to take another pill or use a back up method.. or start a new pack. You are perfectly fine.. Don't worry!

Answer 4

You'll be fine. The only time you have to worry about a lapse in protection is when your drastically late in taking it. Say you normally take it at 11 am but don't take it until that night before bed. Then you may need to use a back up. 10 minutes won't hurt.

Answer 5

You;ll be fine. It was only 10 minutes  

Answer 6

You should definitely be fine. My birth control gives me 6 hours either way. I could take it 6 hours before the time I usually take it or 6 hours after the time I usually take it and it should still work. Read the paper that came with it, it will explain everything.  

Answer 7

Your fine. Just continue on to tommorws like usual.

Answer 8

You will be fine,. I actually never took mine and the exact same time the 3 years I was on it and I was fine. They just tell you take it at the same time so it's easier to remember. 10 minutes is nothing.

Answer 9

You should be fine.  10 minutes is not enough to worry too much about.  If you are really concerned about it, you could use condoms for a while, but I think you should be fine either way.  Good Luck!

Answer 11

You should be fine.  So long as you take it that day.  Sometimes you could miss a day and take 2 the next....but you should be fine in your case.

Answer 12

Unless you are using a very strange birth control pill I'm pretty sure that taking it 10 minutes before the actual time isn't a problem.
