Question
I take my Loestrin pill between 7 am and 12 pm every day, depending on the day of the week. Will these time differences alter the effectiveness of the pill?
Please ask your doctor but I would think that those few hours would not cause that much difference. I don't recommend the birth control pills or any kind of hormonal birth control. Many women have reported side effects (long-term and short-term). Please consider another non-hormonal method. You can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk privately.
