Birth control late??

Unread post by Rosierose90 »

So I take minastrin fe and I took one of my pills 4 hours late in my first week of a new pack. I had protected sex that night (with a condom) but before he entered he almost put the condom on the wrong way. He flipped it before putting it on so my question is, am I at risk for pregnancy if he had some precum on the tip of the condom ? I wiped the condom with my hand before he entered so is there a risk of pregnancy or not? Thank you for your time (:

Taking the pill four hours after your pill time is not late. A pill that is taken 12+ hours after the pill time is late. So, that should not have any impact on the effectiveness of your pill.
