Birth control

4 Replies

Hi so I’ve recently been taking antibiotics that I cannot take with my birth control mini pills so I’ve stopped taking them until I’m finish with the antibiotics course. I normally take the pill at 11am everyday but now that I have stopped when I do start to take them again can I change the time from 11 to another time or would I have to continue taking them at 11 like I normally would ?

If you've had a break, start taking them regularly again. I, personally, would take them at 11 am again, just out of habit.

I'm assuming it's the mini pill, in which case, make sure you take them at the same time every day, but starting them at a different time makes no difference after a week anyway, once you're taking them regularly.

You are absolutely welcome.

If you're unsure, absolutely check with your doctor, though.

of course you can change the time. Remember to use other precautions until you have restarted, and for two days after you have restarted the POP .

Not what you're looking for?
