birth control taken correctly is at 99% effective. When you forget or take them at different times everyday, that precent goes down. I suggest not having sex until you can at least take them correctly for a month. I just take mine whenever I go to bed. Set them by your toothbrush or alarm clock. You'll never forget and then you'll be in the habit after a few months.What happens if you miss taking your birth control some days but take it the next day?
As a nurse I will tell you you should get in the habit of taking it about the same time in the morning when you say brush teeth make it part of the routine...brush teeth swallow pill do it again tomorrow etc .... as for missing a pill..... you will get pregnant that is what will happen you need to take pill every single day... if you are not responsible enough to do that you should consider alternative method like shot or implant...also remember the pill does not protect you from STD and HIV and you can not tell if someone has it by looking at them so you should still be using a condom always... my sister got pregnant and had twins after having 2 girls who were 3 and 1.5 years old....while on the pill and she never missed a pill so it is never 100% even when you take it right.
i don't know what pill you're on, but they always come with a paper that tells you what to do if you miss one. mine says if i miss one to take it as soon as you realize you missed it. if you miss a total day, i would use a condom for a least a few days to a week to get the drug regular again in your system. i don't know how good your chances are of getting pregnant, but i know people it has happened to. good luck!
It really depends on your birth control pill.... Speak with your doctor if you have any worries.





However, one thing that really helped me to take it on time was a pill case with an alarm on it. Its basically magic... I set it for a time in the morning when I know I'll still be in bed (so as not to be out of the house and miss the alarm) I take my pill, and go back to sleep :)





Here's the website; most are around 20 dollars or so. Good luck!

You stand a much higher chance of getting pregnant. If this is a problem for you, talk to your doctor about a different means of birth control. There are lots more to choose from lately.
If you're on a mini-pill, that's not good. If you are on a regular pill, you can get away with it some.
