Missed pill ..spotting?
Answers: It's usually ok if you bear it within 12 hours though that does depend on the type of pill and you will have to look up that info for your specific pill. 2 or 3 hours behind shouldn't make a big difference though again that depends on the type of pill and how often you bring it late.
But yes, missing a pill can sometimes cause spotting or a slightly different time of year.

I was taking the ortho cyclin generic and i usually took it in the morning and sometimes i would forget so i would freshly take it when i remembered and i never spotted. I still got my term at the same time and everything. I dont think it usually matter but i know if you miss mondays pill and its tuesday then you would take monday and tuesdays pills on tuesday. Is that confusing or what!? If you keep hold of forgetting you may want to ask MD about ortho evra patch which you put on once a week or nuvaring that you insert. If all else fail use back up methods such as condoms. Be safe! Good luck!
