Birth control pills?

Question:

I have a question on birth control pills my Dr gave me ortho tri-cyclin and i was wondering since you have to take the pills at the same time everyday can you change the hour you take them when you start a new month?

Answers:
Yes,you can change the hour when you start a new month.It will not affect you in any way,but to be sure if you are sexually active then wait 10 days to have sex after starting a new pack.By the way if I were you I would have Birth Control switched to a different kind,because Ortho Tri Cyclin is not the best kind.I was on it at one point and it made me feel pregnant(all the symptoms included)and it makes you have major mood swings.I recommend Yaz it has been such a better experience.

Try taking it at the same time, within the hour, every day. I would suggest before bed, right after you brush your teeth, that'll make it easier to remember and help you with any nausea you might experience. If you don't like the time you're taking them now, change it on the first white pill of the next month, then stick to it. Deviating from the prescribed time mid-cycle could make you vulnerable if there aren't enough hormones in your blood.
