Brief Answer:
Safe. Do unprotected sex.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for writing to us. I understand your concern.

1) You are absolutely safe and get protection more than 99.5% against unwanted pregnancy because you had taken birth control pill regularly.

2) You can do unprotected sex for unlimited time without any tension or stress. Taking pill less than 1 hr late is NOT a big deal. There will be NO problem or alteration of pill protection.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.

For future query, you can directly approach me through
