Can I change the time I take my birth control pill?
Hi 19/f
I started taking birth control last month, and am now on my second pack. I am on my second week of my current pack, so I have to finish the rest of this weeks, and next weeks and then I will be on placebos. Once those run out, and I start my new pack, would I be able to take them at a different time? Right now I'm taking them at 8:30 pm because I was living in CA and had to make sure I took them at the same time so 5:30 there is 8:30 where I am now and I think that's too late. I want to start taking them around 2 or 3pm, but I don't know if that would be an issue or not.
Thanks!

No, it would not since you are actually taking them earlier. Each pill usually lasts around 24 hours. you are still protected even if you miss a pill just the percentage drops a bit. Don't worry. Just make sure you start taking your pills around the new time everyday. Good luck at your new place (:
-- I'm on my third month of being on the pill and I've asked my doctor soooo many questions, this being one of them haha
