How to take birth control effectively?

Question

I just have a quick question. I read online that birth control pills are 99% effective when taking it perfectly. So, if I start taking the pill everyday at 2:30 pm, does it always have to be exactly at 2:30 pm or can I be a few minutes early or late or maybe even 10 minutes early for it to still be effective?

Answer

If it’s the combo pill you have a 2 hour window to take it. But it’s best to do it at the same time. But a few min early/late will not hurt you at all

Answer

Take it the same time everyday set an alarm that way theirs no taking it later than normal

Answer

I took the pills within a 20 minute window everyday, never got pregnant. A few minutes will not hurt you at all

Answer

Not all pills are like mine the ones I had were 93% effect so if your going on the pill definitely look up the name of yours or ask your doctor the 99% effect is usually the ones where doctors put in inside you 
Definitely take pill othe same time every day and and you might want to use condom for more protection just incase 
Not trying to scare or worry you but I know couple people including me (5) how always tryed to take the pill same time (it's hard so dont think that's easy) but we got pregnant on the pill
