Haha I'm glad! I hoped it wasn't too much overshare.

While I will obviously say consult a doctor or other medical professional - I've been told in the past (and just reconfirmed to myself on planned parenthood's site) that the "same time every day" is very dependent on which type of pill you take, and has some wiggle room.
If you take a combined estrogen/progestin pill (which is what I take), it genuinely does not matter much when you take it, as long as you take it each day. The "same time" thing is more about building the habit.
If it's a progestin-only pill, the "same time" thing matters more, but according to the planned parenthood site, you have a window of about 3 hours either way where it remains effective (but use backup methods if it varies by more than that.)

So... even if you're on the type where it's more important to stay consistent with timing, you DO have some room to take it with your other daily meds, if the timing doesn't vary by more than a few hours.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
