Will 30 mins affect my pill?

Question

If I take my pill in a 30 min time frame (ex: Monday @ 7 am then Tuesday @ 730am then Wednesday @715ish then Thursday @ 7) will that make a difference in the effectiveness of preventing pregnancy? Or will time only affect it if it is hours off each day?

Depends. I took reclispen the generic for ortho.. Something... Anyway. Mine was fine within a 4 hour window.

Answer

It really depends on what kind of birth control pill you're taking.

If you're on the mini-pill (which is more uncommon), it's extremely important to take it at the exact same time every day. (even if you're on the mini-pill, I'm almost positive 30 minutes is completely fine, but then again I am not a doctor.)

however, if you're on the combo birth control pill (much, much more common), 30 minutes will definitely not compromise the effectiveness. taking it at the same time every day isn't nearly as important with the combo pill as it is with the mini-pill; however, it's still a good idea to take your birth control pill at the same time everyday to get into the habit of taking it. :-)

you can identify what kind of pill you're taking by looking at your package! the pack should come with a little pamphlet giving you all the information you need to know about your pill. if you can't find it, just google it!

again, I'm not a doctor, but I used to take birth control pills and I've done a ton of research on them especially concerning the timing of taking them and all of that.

best of luck to you!

Answer

I believe if it's within an hour of the same time each day it will be just as effective.
