Hi I just started birth control and I'm on Sprintec, this is my first full week on birth control today. I usually take it around 3 to 5, and I just now realized I forgot to take my pill around that time. So I just took it (its now 9). Should I be concerned? My fiance and I had sex (used a condom) last night. Help I'm nervous! We always use condoms though and have never had issues with one breaking or anything.

New to BC ?
Condoms are recommended for the first Month. Take your Pill at as close to the same time every Day/ Night.Read the Directions on the pamphlet from your pill pack. Read them together.
What do you do every day between 3 & 5 that will remind you ?
You can always set it earlier or later in the day.
Brush Teeth , Take Pill, Wash face, Take Pill, Have Coffee, Take Pill .. Anything that you Know you do Every Day at about the same Time .
Is where you leave a Note or you leave your Pills near .

Very new!
Well during the week I get to my 3 o'clock class and take it! (Yes I take it during class hahaha) that's how I remember it. I just set a reminder to go off on my phone everyday at 3:30 from now on. I guess I'm more concerned about me almost missing the pill today. Do you think it's okay?Comment

You should be Ok,
But as the pamphlet says .. Take pill as soon as Remembered .
And use alternate method for first month .
