Possible to change time to take pills?
| Mon, 11-08-2004 - 1:42pm |
I am currently on the 7 placebo pills in my pack . I started taking BC pills a few months ago and decided to take them at about 6 AM everyday. I find that perhaps this wasn't the best choice of a time to take them since I sometimes end up taking these pills a couple of hours late on Sat. and Sun. since I sleep in. When I start my new pack next week, can I change my time that I take them say maybe from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM or will this screw things up?

When moving your pill-time ahead from 6 AM to 6 PM you can either: 1. Move it in one hour increments over a 2 week period. 2. Move it all at once and use back-up for 7 days, or, 3. Cut your placebo week a day short and instead of taking your last placebo pill take the first pill of a new pack at the new time. This last method will move your start day. Let us know what you decide, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
