Okay so we all know that taking your BC pills at the exact same time everyday increases the effectiveness.


So what happens during day light savings... when the clocks go back or forward. Do I still take it at six? What do you do with your pills?

My doctor said that within an hour range is fine.  When the clocks switch, still take it at six, your body will adjust to it.

You should adjust the time so you take it 24 hours apart. Which means that, instead of 6, you take it at 5 (or 7).

When you travel, you adjust the time as well.

if you take your pills at 7 when the time changes, take it at 6.

ha! I'm sure it isn't that important otherwise, if it was really bad drs would be warning us about how we all suddenly get pregnant on BCP during daylight saving switches.

each pill is different, but an hour shouldn't make that much different. With my pill, I have 12 hours leeway.

thats a good question that i never thought of either

i just took them before i went to bed which varied between 11 something and 4 in the morning and i never got preggo

i do however suggest nuvaring you just put it in once and take it out 3 weeks later and you never have to worry about taking pills

its awsome
