Can I Start a New Pack At a Different Time of Day? Posted: 07-22-05 20:05pm
I've been on the pill for less than a
month now (i'm having my period now and
taking the placebo pills) and I was
wondering if I can start my next pack at a
different time of day than last month.
During this past month I took the pills
around 6pm, but now I dont think that's a
good time for me so i'd like to take them
at around 12 or so (or some other time,
i'm not very sure yet). Is it okay to
start a new pack at this different time?
Will it affect the pill's effectiveness?

You should be fine starting at any time of
day you want. Your body will be reset
anyway, because of your period.
This is why it's okay if you forget to
take a pill at your scheduled time (say, 8
am) and take it later in the day.

Hi there! Keep in mind though if you are
just starting on birth control pill that
you are using a condom for the 1st couple
of months until the bcp has time to take
effect.
Good luck!
