vaginapagina | HBC & Temperature; Timing of EC (Reply)

Two fast questions:

1) How much do you guys worry about your HBC pills and storing temperatures? I mean, I take Yasmin (best at 77 deg, apparently) and I have air conditioning in my house, but I stay over friends' houses a lot and thus spend a lotta time in hot underground city public transportation, with my pills in my overnight bag with me. I know not to leave them, like, in my car on a hot day right near a window, but how much should I--or do you--worry about temperature otherwise?

2) I took EC the other day. First pill was at midnight, second should have been at noon. I spazzed, forgot, and ended up taking it closer to around 1:30PM or 2PM. Am I okay? (I'm pretty sure that you can take it earlier--I've heard the timing is just so you don't get sick--but the guy I was with was nervous and wanted me to wait the full time. Heh, I guess I did, and more.)

Thanks!
