Do i have to take my birth control at the same exact time ever single day?

NO: If you are on a combined birthcontrol, get used to taking it about the same time of day (so not to forget) with an activity you do daily as brushing your teeth, putting on makeup, taking out your contacts etc. If you remember it at any point the same day; take it. If you forget two days in a row; you are not safe. If you use breastfeeding pill, you should take it the same hour or two every day.
