The mini-pill has to be taken at exactly the same time (within the hour) each day.
The combined pill has to be taken within 12 hours of the same time, but it's probably best to get into the habit of taking it at the same time, e.g. when you get up.

The mini pill or POP has only a 3 hour window if you forget to take your pill when it is due. The combined pill has a 12 hour window. If you are taking your pill with in 2 hours of its due time you should be ok. You never said which type you take.

The combined pill has a 12hour period in which you can take it, it helps to take it at the same time each day so you remember it. If you forget, don't forget to take extra precautions for seven days eg condoms or just wait. Antibiotics and St. John's wart will affect your pill and make it ineffective so you will need to take extra precautions whilst on these and for seven days after. Read and medicines to check.

Try taking it at a specific time. Try to take it withing an hour. That way the pill will b more likely to work better.

Janey mack...anyone can copy and paste (not directed to you asker!). Yeah, that is totally fine, as long as it's not the mini pill. Also you just reminded me I must take mine!

they recommend that you take it every day roughly at the same time so you should be fine they just dont want people taking it in the mornings one day and at night the other!

shouldn't matter - they say it's better to take it at roughly the same time of day but 2 hours really isn't a problem.
