Is There A Chance I Could Get Pregnant Or Upset My Body By Taking Pills At Different Times?

Hi, I ve been put on a course of tetracycline for my acne but I ve been taking cerazette for 6+ years. Due to this I have not had a period for around 3-4 years. I was told to start taking my pill at night but I m not struggling to take it at the same time every night. I have had unprotected sex whilst being on the antibiotic. Is there a chance I could get pregnant or upsetting my body with the change of pill times?

Yes take your pills at the same time of the day as far as possible otherwise chances of failure of contraception are very high. Supplement this cycle of your pills with barrier devices like condoms till you start a new cycle and start taking the same regularly at a particular time. Visit your gynecologist for regular follow up. Take care and all the best.
