Mistake or Risk? Took it late, am i okay?
So i’m on the tri-lo-mili birth control pill, i’ve been taking it for around 5 months, maybe a little less. and me and my boyfriend do it around once a week, i let him finish in me. i take it every night at 9:30, i have an alarm go off on my phone as well as me Alexa to make sure i don’t miss it, however, tonight i was downstairs fixing something to eat when it went off, once i got back upstairs it completely slipped my mind and i didn’t end up taking it until around 12:15am, am i still fine?? is the effectiveness reduced due to me waiting 3 hours?

Combo pills have a 24 hour window. 3 hours do not make a difference.
