Timing and Expected Period

Ive posted here a few times before but I was just wondering how much of a grace period you can have when taking your BC pills daily. My doctor said I should take them within 2-3 hrs of the same time everyday...is that ok or should I try to be more accurate? Also, I just started BC and Im at the placebo pill week. I had a day 1 start method btw..anyways so am I expected to have a period the placebo week or will it take awhile for my body to adjust to this schedule? Thanks!

Thanks for your help. I realized afterwards that there was already a discussion on this topic posted earlier...sorry about that. But thanks either way for you response.

I have been on birth control for three months and each time I have my period it starts at a little bit of a different time. One time it was four days after placebo, next it was the first day, then three days of placebo. I think it's normal, don't worry!
