A member asked:
Anyone has the perfect time of day or night to take the once-a-day birth control pill?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Time you remember: The best time to take the birth control pill is the time that is the easiest to remember. Some women choose to make taking the pill part of their daily routine (like after brushing their teeth), so they do not miss a pill. Forgetting two or more pills can decrease the effectiveness of preventing unintended pregnancy.

OCP: You choose the perfect time for you. Either when you brush your teeth in morning or evening, when you drink your coffe in am. Always make sure associate your daily routine with taking ocp. Makes things easier.
