Sometimes I take my pill early b/c of an event, movie, etc. and so whenever i take it early, like by an hour or so, i just change my time to the time i took it. is that ok? sorry if it's confusing. like i usually take it at 10 pm, but the other night i took it at 9 pm so now i take it at 9pm every night, is that ok what i'm doing or am i altering my effectiveness?

I think in general anything I have read, and have been asked about by doctors is are you taking it within a certain window.. you dont have to take it like exactly to the minute for it to be effective, i think even within the same hour and youre okay. I do the same thing you do sometimes..plus situations like daylight savings time.. also same thing for when you start your next pack.. the past 7 pills were sugar pills so i dont think it matters what time you start taking it for the new pack, know what i mean?

Hope that helped a little :) I've taken it for 2 1/2 years without any problem and i usually take it within a 15-20 minute window
