How To Change Time Of Taking Pill?
I was wondering how I should go about changing when I take my pill. Right now I take it at 8:55pm but I need to change it to later like 10:30pm or 11pm due to my new job because I don t wanna have to worry about closing and taking my pill cause I may forget. I really would appreciate if you told me a safe/effective way to switch my time for taking my birth control. Thank you

Hello,
Your pill will have protection for 2 extra hours and you can change the time from 8.55pm to 11pm once without any risk . From then onward you should take it at 11 pm every day. It is good to take it at a fixed time every day.
If you have any further queries, you are welcome.
