I am taking my birth control regularly for almost 10 months now around the sametime like the rules. is it okay if i change the time?

Yes: It is absolutely ok. Probably it would be best to chane the time with the beginning of a new cycle.

Timing of birth cont: If you mean from am to pm- it is ok to change when you start the new package. You must remember to take it at the same time every day once you have opted for either in the morning or the afternoon for the rest of the cycle. Since you are more likely to miss things if not "scheduled" do not change from month to month as the chances for missing pills will increase.
