What is the most effective time of the day to take an ocp? i usually take it aorund the same time at night before going to bed. would morning be better? would taking iron at the same time with my bcp make it less effective or is it okay to take both?

For OC pill you should take almost at the same time everyday and you should choose the most convenient time that you won't forget so I think it should be fine if you choose the night time. There is no interaction between OC & iron pills except you should avoid taking iron pill during meal time.
