I have an alarm set to take my pill at 11:am everyday. I recently went out of the country for about a week and continued to take my pill at 11, but forgot there was a time difference which was an hour behind. So I was technically taking the pill an hour later than usual. I am now on the fourth day of the placebo and still no period. It has also been about two weeks since I've had intercourse. Is it normal for my period to be late?

Hi Anon,
Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
Changing the time you take your pill is usually not a big deal as long as you make sure you don't allow more than 24 hours to pass between pills. There may be minimal risk due to time difference, but if only an hour later I doubt it. The key factor in minimizing your risk is that you remained consistent.
Is your menstrual cycle always on time?
With the use of any birth control pill, there is a potential side effect of having irregular period.
I hope this helps.
Be well,
