Do u have to take birth control pills the exact same time every day? for instance i started my first pill yesterday at 7:30 pm must i take the 2nd one today at exactly 7:30 pm also?

No: You should try to take the pill approximately the same time each day, morning or night. But being an hour or two off schedule is ok. Just don't take one in the morning, one at night, etc.
