You should be fine, but use a backup method of protection just in case.
Better safe than sorry!

If in doubt, there’s Plan B!

One I took mine 24 hours late and it was fine, but I used a backup method for 7 days (even though my bc says that I don’t need to). Like @elijahsuicide said, better safe than sorry!

If it is your first pack of pills, you’re supposed to use an additional birth control method for the first 7 days anyway. If you are a week into a new pack (but you’ve been taking the pill for more than a month) then you should be fine. But again, it’s always better to be safe.
