How does timing affect birth control?

Answer by  LPlatter (271)

You should take your birth control on the same time everyday. If you think about it, each pill is designed with enough hormones to treat you for 24 hours, therefore, for continous protection, you need to take one every day at the same time. Try taking it a time everyday that is easy to remember.

Each pill only releases a certain amount of hormones, depending on how much your body needs throughout the month. Being on time with pills keeps you protected.

When taking birth control, it is important to make sure you take the pill at the same time every day. This will keep a regular amount of the birth control in your blood at all times. It's a good idea to set an alarm on your phone to remind you.

If you mean timing of the day when you take the pill you may have morning sickness if you take the pill in the morning hours. It is recommended that you take it at night at the same time each night to avoid spotting and morning sickness.
