If you are on the combined pill, as long as you take it once a day you’re fine. If you are on the progesterone only pill, you must strictly take it at the same time everyday because of the lower doseage of hormones.

What happens if I take it hour or 3 hours past the time I started taking it would it give me a period

Thats interesting. That maybe explains why it is has been working for me. However how exact does that need to me, if I take it at 7.30 one day and take it a 7.40 the next day does it not be effective.

I take the cerazette mini pill and took it on time everyday but if I miss it I always take it within the 3 hour window, I have missed it before for longer and taken it as soon as I remembered and had no side effects however I have been on the pill for over a year, hope this helps (:

I think it’s different for everyone as I got spotting first that turned to brown discharge it took a few months to fully clear up, maybe see a GP if it’s been 5 months to make sure it’s the right pill for you (:
