mama's,
if any of you use YAZ birth control (or any birth control at all), are you really suppose to take it at the EXACT same time everyday?? I take it within 2 or 3 hours of the same time, is that bad?? please help!! Thanks in advance!
I've been on YAZ for 2years and somedays I take it in the morning and some days at night or even in the middle of the day. With everything else that goes on during the day I forget sometimes what time I took the last pill!
Within a few hours, I wouldn't worry about it. I was on Yasmin 28 for 5 years, and even accidentally skipped days, and I never had a problem.
doesn't have to be the EXACT hour!
I also have an alarm on my phone that goes off every night at 10pm. If I miss it for some reason (i.e. I don't hear the alarm), I'll remember the next time I look at my cell phone. I try to take it within 2 hours of the alarm, but there have been times when I've forgotten until the next morning and so far, no problems.
I have an alarm on my cell phone that goes off twice a day...once at 850 am and another time at 8 at night. I will take it at either time.
If you are just starting the pill, try and take it at the same time...within 2 or 3 hours is AT THE SAME TIME.
I use Yaz.
I also take YAZ. I keep the pills and a bottle of water on my night stand, and it's the first thing I do in the morning. I wake up at different times every day. Sometimes I do forget to take it and I end up taking it whenever I remember. I avoid taking it late in the evening or at night before I go to bed. The pills give me horrible, vivid nightmares and that's why I switched to mornings and now I have no problems. It took a few months for me to see the effects of the pills, now my mood is much better, my skin is clear, and my periods are much lighter and only last a couple of days. Very happy with the pills.
