Pill??

Question

So how strict is it to take the birth control pill at the same time everyday? 
These past few weeks I have been slacking so much, I been taking my pill late everyday😩 I put alarm and I still seem to forget.
For example Monday I took it at 9am 
Tues at 9:45am
Wed at 10am
Thurs at 1130am
Fri at 12 ....
Literally just about an hour or two late everyday. 
***** SO.. Am I still protected? 
*im gonna look into differnt birth control methods cuz the pill is not for me😩
TIA😊

Answer

I think within an hour or two then the chances are you should be fine. And you haven’t missed one. 
But definitely a good things you’re looking at another option if the pill isn’t for you.

Answer

If you’re taking combined pill the time doesn’t really matter as long as it’s still on the same day.

Answer

Average use is 97% effective. While yes you are taking it late every day you're still taking it, not missing days and it seems so far no more than a 3 hour gap. You fall into the average range. You're still covered but if you start missing days I'd definitely suggest a back up method

Answer

You should be fine. I've been told it's more effective and that's with any medication to take at the same time. But what matters is you're not skipping pills. 
You're being very responsible by deciding to get on a different birth control! 
The nuva ring might be good for you if you are forgetful, or an IUD if you want something more long term. 
I would however, stay away from the depo it ruined me. Made me bleed for 6 months, and it was just bad.
