Taking Pills On Time... Help
Posted: 04-09-06 08:37am

I'm very new to the world of birth control pills... So i'm a bit worried and scared...


I just want to know how important it is to take the pills at the same time everyday... Here's an example:

i normally take them around 9:30am... But lets say one day I took it at 9:45, or even 10:00... Is this bad?

Also, apx. How much does alesse cost?

Thank you...

No dear don't worry. I've taken pills up to almost 2 hours apart from regular time and it's okay. Your internal clock isn't 24 hour precise ;) don't worry about that. And alesse in canada I do believe costs me $13, so roughly $8 or $9 in the states?

actually i've done the same thing about the timing, but also you have to remember that the lower the estrogen level the more precise the timing is for running out considering it is on a 24 hour cycle. Just take it as soon as you remember, as long as it's not four hours late.
