Hi,
Alrighty, so I'm super new to this pill thing, as in i JUST took my first pill ever. Thing was I had planned on taking it at 7:00 am everyday, but i was stupid and forgot to set my alarm,so after going to bed at 6 am, I woke up now at 12 and just took the first pill. I'm not (and will not) be doing anything risky in terms of pregnancy for a bit, and was wondering if its ok to just take the next pill tommorow at 7:00 am rather than 12. I know that there are methods to change pill time, but if im not having sex or anything will it be ok on my body to switch the time that fast or should i still be doing it gradually? What i'm worried about is that i don't yet know how i will react to the pill, so i wasn't sure if it was ok to mess with the times straight at the beginning of taking them.
Thanks for your time :)

Hi aunt_steph, welcome back!

I agree with Jill, I think it will be fine.
Thnx guys, I appreciate the quick responses. I do have another question now :) The pills are making me naseous which I expected as one of the side effects, its not that bad just annoying really. Its only been a few days but its already a little better which im really happy about. Will there be a "second wave" of sickness when the second week of pills start since the pills will have a new composition? I was debating whether or not to head out and buy gravol or something, but if its already getting better than there is no point since i don't normally require it.
Thanks again

Hi again Steph,
Jill
Sometimes it also helps to take your pill at bedtime, if the nausea happens shortly after you take it.
Thanks again guys :) Here i am with another question tho :P The nausea wasn't just after the pill, it was pretty much constant all day, but it stopped after a few days. I started the pill two weeks ago and this tuesday i started to feel sick again, but alot more than the previous week and it was accompanied by dizziness. Wednesday i wasn't naseous but had a fever that night and thursday i was throwing up with a constant heaache all day. Today i feel fine, but it tends to hit me later in the day rather than in the morning, so i'm hoping it stays off all day. My boyfriend insists its "his fault" becuase the pills are causing this, but im not sure if it is the pills that are making me ill this time (and its been a pain trying to convince the boy that its in no way his fault lOl). Since I'm taking the same pill each day wouldn't it make sense to have the same symptoms everyday rather than random ones? Has anyone else experienced these side effects from the pills or could i have just picked up some sort of bug in the last couple days? I haven't encountered fever as a side effect of the pill, so i was leaning more towards it being just a bug or something.
Thanks, hope you all have a good weekend

P.S. Thanks for the advice on helping with the nausea! :) My mom always made us hot gingerale boiled with real ginger when we were sick, yummy :)
