I'd like to know the same...I usually take
mine around 7 but sometimes I might take
it an hour early if im going out, or
forget and take it 2 to 3 hours
late...Does this affect how well it work
at all?

I don't know how it affects their
effectiveness either... Normally I take
the pill between 10-11am, but on the
weekends it's more like 12-1pm...

Hi there girls. I have been taking birth
control pills for 10 years off and on,
there are a couple of type of very low
dose pills where it really makes a
difference what time of day that you take
them. Most pills have a pretty good half
life and if you miss one entire day your
chances only go up slightly. I really
wouldn't worry too much if I were you, but
i"m not and sometimes it's almost exciting
to worry... Much luck.

Yeah, ive been on bc for 5 yrs, and
sometimes I miss my pill by a couple hrs,
or even more. It haven't ever effected me
to the extent of me getting prego, or
sick. Just dont miss more than a day.
And if you do miss a day, only take the
2.. Never take more than the 2.
