Do take the pills at about the same time each day. If you take any other medication, herbals, over the counter drugs, consult with your doctor to make sure that the additional medication would not interfere with the action of birth control pills. You may consider and IUD. Wish you good health!

Abstinence or vasectomy or tubal ligation are most reliable in that order.
