Okay hiii so 2 questions really… 1. can changing the brand of birth control pill affect anything? and 2. i took my pill at 9:00 this morning when im meant to take it at 7:30…. the app says it’s orange protected not green and my boyfriend and i had sex without a condom tonight (he pulled out but i’m still scared😭). i was wondering if anyone could help me with my chances and if i should do anything?

oh and the brand i’m on is arankelle which last month was aranka!!!

Upon a quick google search it seems that the pills have different dosage of the hormones, so they are not the same pill. Can you verify that? Your protection could be affected if the switch was not carried out properly if that's the case. No pill had a usage window of less than 3h so that should in theory be fine, you need to adjust settings in the app. For combined pills it's 12h or 24h. The app shouldn't be relied on for protection status as it's not advanced enough, but is good for tracking pill usage.
