If you do not take the pill at the same time everyday will it still do it a job?

Maybe (not) . . .: Answer depends upon type of birth control pill. Progestin-based contraception needs to be taken not greater than 3hrs later than scheduled, in other words, less than 27hrs after last dose. Combination pills give you a bit more leeway timing-wise. Check out http://goo.gl/0loKej & http://goo.gl/uUHPcr re timing issues. If adherence is an issue, consider subdermal implant or IUD. Don't forget condoms

Depends: It depend son which pill are you on. Progesterone only pill have a small window period of flexibility between which pill has to be taken otherwise they cannot provide protection against pregnancy . Combined pills offer bit more flexibility. Might be good idea to consider options like implants like jadelle and Implant , please discuss with your doctor http://patient.info/health/contraception-guide
