Hi, I just began taking birth control and I began taking it at eleven in the morning because that's when I have a break in my classes, so I've done that for one week consistently, but now I was thinking maybe it would be best to take it right before bed time...do you think this would give the pill enough time to work? I wasn't sure how that would work if I decided to change the time after going for a whole week taking it at 11 and now changing it to like 10pm...do you think I should just stick to 11 or maybe bedtime? thanks a lot

HI it does not matter what time you take your pill as long as you take it at the same time everyday. it will only not work if you miss a day. if you are on the combined pill then it will be fine to swap from taking it at 11 am to 10pm as this pill has a 12 hour time period before it is considered that you have missed the pill. So if you take it at 11am today and then take it at 10pm the next day you will still be covered. i don't recommened that you regularly do this but as a once of you should be fine, but from now on always take it at the same time everyday. if you are worried about falling pregnant because you have changed the times you take the pill use extra contraception for the next 14 days. goodluck and if your really worried go and see your doctor or your pharmacist.

x_pixie_x agony auntwell personaly i think that you should take it in the morning early before you have classes. this means that it will kick in straight away and you won't feel drowsy in your classes. good luck.
