what happens if you take two birth control pills late?

Yes, if you take your pill 2 hours late it's still effective. Most people use combined-hormone pills. They contain both estrogen and progestin. They must be taken once a day, but they don't need to be taken at the same time every day.

If you're sick (vomit) within 2 hours of taking your contraceptive pill, it probably will not have been absorbed by your body. You should take another pill straight away. As long as you're not sick again, you're still protected against pregnancy. Take your next pill at the usual time.

If you don't receive the next shot in time, you risk becoming pregnant because of decreased levels of the drug in your body. If you can't get your next shot on time, you should use a backup method of birth control.

If you're taking birth control pills, you might also have two periods because you forgot to take one or you took one later than usual. Even a few hours delay can cause a little bleeding, called spotting. Once you've been on your pills for a while, taking them on time will become part of your regular routine.

If you're taking progestin-only pills, it's best to take them at the same time every day. But you have a 3 hour window, meaning it's only working less well if you take it more than 3 hours late. If this happens, use a backup method of birth control, like a condom, for the next 2 days.

If you just missed one, take it as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until the next day, go ahead and take 2 pills that day. If you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule.

Emergency contraceptives can also trigger an early period. If you just started taking birth control or missed a couple of pills then took the morning after pill as a precautionary measure, you may have two periods that month.

Incorrect use of birth control pills is a major reason for unintended pregnancies. Birth control pills work best if taken according to schedule and at the same time each day. If you miss one or more pills, you increase your chances of releasing an egg that could be fertilized and lead to a pregnancy.

If you miss your period while on the pill and you haven't missed any doses, pregnancy isn't likely. Instead, the hormones in the pill are likely the cause.

If you've missed one pill anywhere in the pack or started a new pack one day late you're still protected against pregnancy. You don't need to use any extra contraception. Simply: Take the pill you missed immediately (even if this means taking two pill in a day)

Missed periods may occur if you skip one or more tablets and have not taken your pills exactly as directed. If you miss two periods in a row, talk to your doctor. You might need a pregnancy test. If you suspect that you may be pregnant, stop using this medicine immediately and check with your doctor.

Stopping the pill can temporarily affect your menstrual cycle, but it's not the only thing that can cause a late period. If things haven't got back to normal within three months or if you're experiencing other symptoms, you should consult with your primary care physician.

If you miss your period twice in a row, you may be pregnant even if you have taken Diane-35 ED correctly. Stop taking Diane-35 ED and seek advice from your doctor. You must use a non-hormonal method of contraception, (such as condoms or a diaphragm) until your doctor rules out pregnancy.

Your periods may be irregular, or heavier/lighter than usual. You may also have vaginal bleeding (spotting) between periods. Do not stop taking your pills if this happens. Pregnancy is more likely if you miss pills, start a new pack late, or take your pill at a different time of the day than usual.

The short answer is yes. If you missed a pill it's sometimes recommended to take two pills in one day and if you want to use regular pills for EC, you might take 2-4 at once. So taking 2 pills at least 10 hours apart shouldn't be a problem.

Getting too far off schedule with your pill can cause spotting, or it can cause you to miss a pill. That said, there are other reasons to take the pill at the same time each day, even though it isn't strictly necessary. As RachaelRayShow.com points out, getting too far off-schedule can cause spotting and bleeding.
