Though it is important to take the pill at the same time every day, taking it an hour earlier or later, probably doesn't matter that much. Ten minutes is definitely OK.

Not a problem at all. You should try to make it the same time each day, but that is to keep an even amount of the hormones in your bloodstream as much as it is so that you will remember to take it, period, and remember that you did! I've been off a few hours either way constantly with no ill effect. You do need to take it each day and at least try to take it in the same timeframe - eveing or afternoon or morning.

you are worried about 10 minutes??? LOL - of course it is OK - you don't have to be so punctual. In fact, it is better to take it not at the same time every day but at the same point of time - for example, always take it before going to bed regardless of the time you go to bed or the first thing in the morning when you wake up. This way your body gets used to your daily functions and you don't have to worry about the minutes:)

Nothing will happen you are fine. You just need to keep the times relatively close together. You only need to worry if you forget for hours, repeatedly. If you always switch up the time by a few hours... you risk getting your period early, plus the origonal period. Two periods in a month are not cool. Plus if you forget pills you risk not being protected against pregnancy.

Yes, as long as it's taken daily. I used to take mine every night before I set my alarm clock. But it was never exactly the same time, mabey anywhere from 8pm - midnight. I took birth control for about 8 years and never got pregnant by doing this. Just make sure you never miss a pill and you should be good.

It's just fine. Try to take it around the same time each day, but you don't have to be exactly on time to be protected. Just use additional contraception for the first thirty days on the pill.

No, it's not a problem.
Although you should try to take it the same time of day each day (before you go to bed, when you brush your teeth, with lunch) so it's easier to remember, the exact time does not have to be exact.

No it will not matter, just make sure that you take it near the same time.

Yeah it's perfectly fine. Take it around the same time everyday, just make sure you take it everyday, do not forget! :-P
