Between work and accidentally viral Tumblr posts, I've been pretty wiped out the past few days 😅 I still want to update today, though!
Let's see, what can I talk about...
Oh! A big event that was originally scheduled for this weekend was moved to, like, April/May. I'm pretty jazzed about this, because Saturday is a big Pokémon Go event, and I otherwise probably would've been working through it. (I'll finally be able to catch Corsola!)
My IUD follow-up appointment is on Friday morning, as well. I suspect the IUD will be coming back out, as I've been basically bleeding continually since it was put in 😩 It's also still kinda sore/uncomfortable in that region, and I sincerely hope that's not related to the fall I took a week or so after it was put in. Anyway, I may ask to go on my previous pill instead of something new, since I was actually doing pretty well on it, and only had any major complaints about that one extra long period where I'm pretty sure I missed a pill anyway. Taking a pill at roughly the same time every single day was a pain, but it's less of a pain than bleeding every single day, and getting my whole uterus removed in Plague Times also seems like not a great idea. Maybe in 2025 or so things will have gotten better enough for me to reconsider that.

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.
