Does day light savings can effect my bcp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Continue: Continue to take your birth control pills regularly. For example: if you took your bcps before day light savings time around 9 P.M. Then still take them at 9 P.M. After day light savings time. An hour won't be detrimental to the effects of birth control.

Read that you are ok as long as you take BCP once a day - regardless of intake time. Thought you were supposed to take it around the same time, daily?
