Am I taking my birth control wrong!?!


Question: Am I taking my birth control wrong!?
When I take my birth control I normally take it before bed around 12, but not always at the exact same time, sometimes its not till like 2, is this a problem?
Also I usually dont get my period RIGHT after i run out of pills and so sometime I wait longer then 7 days to start a new pack, does this mean it isnt working properly as a means to avoid pregnancy as I sometimes wait 3-5 extra days before taking it again?

Yes you are taking it wrong. You should be taking it around the same time give or take no more than about 30 mins. Even if your period doesn't start while on the white pills you should not skip days in between packs. You should be taking the pills everyday. If you continue taking the bc pills like you are now you are risking getting pregnant.

Personal Experience, talking to doctor.
