A member asked:

I took my sprintec birth control 10 minutes early? does that make a difference? does it have to be exact same time each day?

Nope: Nope, there's a margin of error on these types of things ... Should be no problem at all. If keeping a strict schedule works for you, stick with it ... You're doing great! Hope that helps!
