birth control question

birth control question

If you are on the pill, how exact does your timing have to be for it to work. I try to take it at 8pm everyday, but sometimes it is 8:30 or sometimes I'll take it early around 7:30. How much of a time window is there before the effectiveness is lessened?

My sister is a doctor, she told me you should really take it no later than 2 hours past the time you normally take it.

Re: birth control question

I always take it right before I go to bed whether that be 10pm or 2am. Never had any problems.

Re: birth control question

my doctor told me that the reason for taking it at the same time every day is to regulate when you get your period and that as long as you take it every day the effectiveness is pretty much the same.

Re: birth control question

During the week Im pretty good about taking it the same time in the AM. On weekends I take it as soon as I wake up, which is not exactly the same every weekend. No scares so far though

Re: birth control question

I have never in 10 years taken them at the same time ever, I never had a prob, either . but now im off them so it doesnt matter

Re: birth control question

I don't know. My doc tells me to take it same time everyday so I set my phone alarm at 9am . So I take it that time. That would be my luck too.
