Full Version: question about birth control pills

I just started them a little over a week ago. I'm taking Lo-Ovral. Anyway, my question is-do you have to take it at the same time everyday? I was on the mini pill for a while a few years ago and they told me to take it at the same time. I take it in the morning-always before noon. Is that ok, or do I need to take it at the same time? I would die if I got pregnant again lol

I would say that if it's a low-dose hormone than I would try to take it at the same time everyday. They are most effective when they are taken at the same time.

What your on is a low hormone birth control pill. Most of them say LO in the name if they are.
(like i take ortho tri cyclin LO)

It helps the effective ness and your remembering to take them if you do it same time everyday.
I take mine first thing every morning so i dont forget.
