BC Pill Question - Sexual Health - Women Message Board

I usually take my pill at the same time every night - 8:00. However, I have a Mon./Wed. class from 7-9. Would taking the pill at a different time those days affect how it works? I'm worried because a couple weeks ago I tried going off them completely, and had BAD mood changes. Now I'm back on them as recommended by a nurse and am back to normal, and don't want to take any chances. I will drop that class if I have to and continue taking the pill at the same time if there's any chance the time change could mess with my moods.

How about moving the time backwards, so start to take it at 6.00pm each day from now on. That way you don't have any point in time where you're not getting the hormones.

But anyway, according to my particular pill (Diane)'s instruction booklet, there is a 12 hour leeway if you forget to take it, so I don't think one hour is going to make that much of a difference.

I will move it back to 6 then, thanks!
