Question: How important is it to take birth control at the exact same time?
Answers:
First - ALWAYS USE A CONDOM.
The birth control pill does not protect you against infection.
And yes - you should try to time the pills for the same time every day.
Pills - are tricky. They digest and absorb and put a different amount of chemical in your bloodstream that varies every few minutes. The pill you took yesterday is designed to not be toxic to you by giving a modest amount of the drug which should last 24 hours. When you take the next pill - it takes a while before it digests and starts to protect you. If you miss a few hours - it could leave an opening where you could get pregnant.
Be safe hon. I mean this.
