I am taking Necon .5/35 birth control pills and consistently take them at 1 pm. Today, I took my pill 45 minutes late and had sex relying on the birth control as my contraceptive method. I also want to understand the difference between combination hormone pills and progestin-only pills, and why the directions say to take the pill at the same time each day if it's not strictly necessary.
