I am on the second day of placebo pills on the first month of being on BC. I take them at 8pm every day since I began on the first day of my period. I have found out that this is a very inconvenient time for me. Can I change the time I take the pill to the morning starting with the very first "active" BC pill for the second month? Will the pill be as effective as it should be?
Thanks!

A nurse is allowed one hour before and after the time that a medication is supposed to be given to give that medication.
I'm going to say that if you're taking your pill at 6 a.m. and you'd rather take it at night . . . take it an hour later each day. . . and you'll be fine.

Yep, taking them earlier is no problem. On the day that you would normally take an active pill at 8pm, just take it that morning instead.
Having less time on the placebo pills is fine, lengthening the pill free time isn't.

Yes, that's just fine, and this is a really good time to do the change -- while you're on the placebo pills.

Absolutely, changing what time you take it will not make the pill less effective, especially since you're changing at the beginning of a new pack. Go for it.

Sure! That's what I did and I had no issues at all with changing the time with my new pill pack.

If you change with your first active pill, you should be fine! In fact, that's exactly what I did as well!

I think you can, but the doctors will tell you to use other forms of protection such as a condom for the next week just in case.
