Changing your pill time

Hi everyone! I just have a quick question. I have been on the pill for about 5 months now and I take it everyday at the same time. I was wondering if I change the time that I take my pill (I now take it every night and would like to change that and take it every morning)would that alter it's effectiveness. I am not sexually active at the moment, but I was wondering if that would cause any problems. Thanks!

Hi randi127, welcome!

As long as you go no more than 24 hours between active pills you will be fine. So, you can take your pill in the evening and then begin your new time the next morning and your protection won't be decreased.

Good luck,
