Switching the time I take my pill?

Yes, you can just stay taking them in the morning, you don't need to wait until the start of the next pack. And you shouldn't actually need to take any extra precautions as long as you took the pills within 12 hours (which you did), unless it's the mini-pill (progesterone only).

It is normal that you are late. Your period will change a lot as your body starts to adjust to your new pill. Don't worry unless you skip your period for too long, like a couple of months. And I would advise using condoms the first month.

You can start on birth control pills whenever you want. However, here's how the intial protection works. If you start the pill on the first day of your period, you will have protection from day one. However, if you start at any other time in your cycle, you should use another form of contraception for the first seven days. This simply has to do with the way the pill works, in conjunction with how your cycle works.

My doctor says to alternate every two hours

Switching birth control is always a guessing game because the hormone level in each is so different and you could turn into a pms nazi if you get too much and break out and all sorts of bad things. My advice is to stay on the one you find that is not making you break out and doesn't mess with your moods. Just remember that after 5 years you need to give your body a break and not take anything for 1 year. Diaphragms work great for that time off.

no way.  Even if you were to miss the whole day, just take 2 the next.  It if you miss 2 or more days when you could get pregnant.  I take mine at all different hours, but I talked to my Dr about it and he said don't sweat it.

If you're on the pill, you can just start your new pack when your period is supposed to start.  Many doctors now say it's OK to bypass periods when you're on the pill.\n\nALWAYS check with your doctor first, of course. ;-)

It's too late now. With better planning you could have used the pill to skip your period, but not if you're leaving Thursday.

The best time to start the pill is in the first 5 days of your period.  Starting off-cycle, like you propose, seems to make the side effects more pronounced, and may make you more inclined to spot.  \n\nPersonally I wouldn't suggest it, since you don't know what your reaction to the pill or to skipping your period will be.  Just personal experience... it's not a health risk.  If you already have a prescription for the pill, inside each packet is a little instruction sheet which tells you that brand's particular suggestions for starting the pill if you don't start it on the first day of your period.\n\nAnd FYI, if you go ahead and start the pill midcycle, you are NOT protected against pregnancy for at least the first week, so use backup contraception if you're having sex.

it takes your body about 3 months to get used to the hormones in the pill. it is called breakthrough bleeding (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_bleeding ) \n\ncontinue with your pill and see if it happens again next month, if it does, you should tell your doctor about it, and ask if she may give you another brand. finding the right brand for you sometimes takes trial and error.

The time is not important, neither is whether you take it with food or not. Just make sure you take the entire course of pills prescribed to you.

yes if you take it within 48 hours and 2x for two consecutive days.\n\njust a friendly reminder though, do not use this too often,ok?\nThis will cause complications if you use this method too often.\n\nI suggest that you start taking pills. start taking the first pill on the first day of your period.\n\nI hope things go well for you.. ;-)

if you are on the pill, stop taking it.\n\nIf not, then there is no way, sorry

If the dr. told you to take it in the evening you should take it in the evening.  If you are having weight gain then you should go back and discuss this new problem with the dr.
