I know thatt I have a 2 hour grace peroid for taking my pill. I usually take my pill between 12:30-1. Today I was working a forgot and took it at 10 to 3.

Am I screwed for the next week and start worring untill my next peroid at the end of the month?

I really wouldn't worry too much about it. Though it's obviously ideal to take it at almost the exact same time every day, I think the amount your protection will be compromised by two hours' difference is negligible.

i've found this to be true as well. i've actually forgotten to take it at night before i went to sleep, taken it the next morning, and been fine. ...although i wouldn't reccomend it. ;)

pills all the time

i don't want to encourage people to be lax with their pill taking, but i've been on the pill for like 5 years, i've taken it every which way, three in one day, random times of the day plenty of times, and never gotten pregnant or even been late or anything. maybe i'm just infertile or something and haven't realized it yet. but in your pill instructions it does endorse the possibility of taking two pills in one day if you miss one and says this does not require extra worrying.

This is the first time in a year and a half I've ever missed my regular time by more than 20 minutes.
