Is it okay to take my birth control "around" the same time everyday?

Yes: This is the best way to take the ocp. This will give you the best chance for success of the pill. Most should be taken withing a couple of hours of the same time every day. Good job! keep it up.

Minimize spotting: The important aspect of consistent daily timing for your birth control pills, is to reduce breakthrough bleeding. A variation of even a few hours from one day to the next is likely to result in spotting. As long as you take your birth control pill every day, you chance for unwanted conception is minimal..
