So I'm new to taking the birth control pill and because I was on winter break from work and school, I kept taking my pills when I woke up which would be either at 7 or 9-10Am.

Now that I started my classes regularly, I will be taking the pill at 7am.

My question is though during break was the pill not working? Like does my my B.C. need to be taken at the exact same time every morning??

My husband Just came back from deployment and I'm curious if I was even protected by the birth control pill during that time??
