A member asked:

Smile, enjoy the day: The human body has no idea that a birth control pill has been taken 15 minutes early or 15 minutes late. Life is not exact. Women can take their pills about the same time each day, and not think another thought about it. Pick a time that is convenient 7 days a week and that is easy to remember. Women try to take their pills sometime within 1-2 hours before, to 1-2 hours after, their chosen time.
