What is considered missing a birth control pill?


-what is considered missing a birth control pill? missing a day of it? or missing a couple minutes as well? would there be a huge effect if you just take the pill 15-30 minutes late?

Missing a day is bad, but "low" risk. Be sure to follow instructions with pack, which I believe is take two the next day or as soon as you remember. A little scary though.

Missing more than one you're playing with fire. "...at the same time each day..." give yourself a 1 hour window.
Missing is a 24 hour time frame. It doesn't matter if 15-30 minutes 12 hours though I would consider missed try to take them at the same time
Pregnancy
you can go for one full day without too much danger as the drug is floating around inside your blood if you have taken it for a while now. A couple of minutes is not an issue. If you take the pill even half a day later, it still will not allow you to get pregnant. 3 days, maybe, 5 days more probable and a week probably! :-) Sandra
i don't think you'll get preg if you take the pill 15 min late...
Missing a birth control pill is not taking the pill the day you were supposed to. There is no huge effect for taking the pill 15-30 minutes late.
