writes:i feel really stupid. i'm on the pill and i usually take it at 8 am in the morning but i'm on spring break and have been oversleeping the 8 am. (i've been taking them like 4, even 5 hours late). could i still get pregnant? i've taken them irregularly for the last.. three days in a row now. (i still take it everyday just at the wrong time). and i know about using condoms as an extra precaution and such. my question is simply, if i have unprotected sex this week/next week could i get pregnant?

However if you are on the mini pill - the Progestin only one - then taking it 3 or more hours early/late increases your chance of pregnancy significantly.
You should ideally seek proper advice when it comes to medical questions.

A few hours difference in your taking it would make no difference. Just don't forget and skip whole days.
