A member asked:
Is it bad to take birth control pill at different times each day? i typically take it at 10 am but have taken it up to 5 hours later 4 times this week. is that bad?

Once per day: birth control pills are designed to be taken once per day. Taking it at the same time helps to create a habit that you can keep up with. It still works if you take it once per day. Consider an easier method like an IUD or nexplanon to avoid the hassle
