Microgynon 30 - in the time range?

Question

I keep taking my pill (Microgynon 30) within the times of 11am-2pm at the moment. I'm going to set an alarm from today so i can just wake up and take it at the same time everyday and then go back to sleep if i want to as to prevent all this. Yesterday night i slept at a friends unexpectedly and so didn't have my bag with me (which had my pill inside it) and had a completey unexpected busy day and didnt take my pill until quarter to ten at night! I'm not usually like this! I haven't had s*x for the past three days so i've nothing to worry about in that front. But i'm wondering, was it in the time range?

I just want to make sure. Thank you. :)

Answer 1

When i started the pill (recently) my nurse said you have a 12 hour timeslot to take it if you forget, so you should just be fine. If you miss the 12 hour slot you must use other protection for the next seven days.

Hi,

I don't always take mine at the same time because I'm quite busy so it varies between 6 and 11 am...I've never had a problem but once I forgot to take it until quite late too so I was really worried but I've never had any problems with mine.

I assumed from what the nurse said that so long as you take one per day you will have nothing to worry about (so one monday-sunday and so on) regardless of what time you take it. I'm not sure if that's correct though so if anyone can back this up that would be great :)
