I took my BC 2-3 minutes late. Am I okay?

Question

It’s my first time on the pill I’ve been on it since Sunday. I’ve been taking my pill at the same exact Time since starting except for today. 
Does a few minutes matter?

Answer

The pamphlet should tell you how late you can take it without needing a backup method of birth control,  but it never hurts to double up methods to be safe when you don't want a pregnancy.

Answer

Generally you should be good, but tomorrow you will want to go back on your normal time. When you go a few hours or days from the normal time, that's when it COULD get dicey.

Answer

No it’s more like if you take it like 12 hours late and even then I’m not sure if that would make a difference but I know for a fact that a few minutes does not matter.
