I prefer to take it in the morning just because it is easier, but on days I go to school I take it around six, just before I leave for the school bus, but on days I stay home I take it whenever I wake up, which is usually around ten or eleven.

Hmm... I'm on Yasmin, which is all I am really sure of. Yasmin is 6, my girlfriend is on it, and the box is lying next to me.

The Pill provides other benefits besides pregnancy prevention. She might be on it for those other benefits Greater than Angels Posted at 6:15 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 Quote: from switchfoot52 at 6:14 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 if you can't get pregnant then what's the point? you don't need a period then. sometimes dr's are wrong. unless its fatal or really bad to not have a period for whatever reason i wouldn't take them. Well Mom just wants to follow the doctor's orders... By the way, I am a virgin. :| Innuendo Girl Posted at 6:14 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 I believe it's about a three hour window between your regular time and what would count as "missed" Petchy Posted at 6:14 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 The time frame for most pills is usually 12 hours, but that is for birth control purposes. So leaving it just a few should be fine. By the way, the last comment, a little sexist surly? Greater than Angels Posted at 6:14 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 Quote: from 2kewl4u2know at 6:13 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 Usually it's best to take it within the same hour everyday, otherwise it has the potential to not work properly. And, before it's considered "missed" I think my doctor said something about 6 hours, I can't remember though. Ah, finally, a helpful response from a FEMALE!!
