birth control question?

Question

is it bad to take the birth control pill an hour late or an hour early?
if you take the pill at 9:30pm, are you supposed to take it at 8:30pm now since the time has changed? I know it sounds stupid but it's better to ask than be sorry later on.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Its fine. Most pills aren't THAT strict. If you are on a low dose or low hormone pill, then simply use protection for a couple days if you are worried. Keep stickin' to your regular time. Otherwise, its all good. lol

I took my pill every morning. The days that I worked, that meant 5:00 am. The days that I was off, that meant 7:00 or 8:00am. I never got pregnant until I got off the pill completely almost two years later.

Answer 2

an hour evey now and then won't matter much. So if your schedule dictates 9:30 still do it at 9:30. But if you can do it at 8:30 then by all means don't miss that hour. And kudos to you for being responsible with birth control and asking when you weren't sure. That show maturity.

Answer 3

i have never thought of that but i would think u take it an hour early because ur body stayed in the same time but to aviod confusion take it at 930 and in a month if not less your body will realize the change

Answer 4

Yes they want you to take it at the same time every day, but I don't think 1 hour is going to affect you one way or the other.

Answer 5

One hour won't make that much of a difference. I was told only if it's 4 or more hours different would it cause a problem.
