Taking The Pill Late Or Early (Top voted first)

Updated

So I started lo loestrin fe about 2/3 months ago. I am supposed to take it at 04:00pm but sometimes I forget to take it so I take it an hour or two after four and sometimes I take it an hour or two before depending on my work schedule. Does this make me less protected? And also does my weight matter? Does it effect it's effectiveness?

Your weight doesn't matter at all, as long as you are mortally obese. But I don't think you are, so You're good! :) and no a couple hours doesn't really matter. They just want you to take it at the same time to get into the habit of taking them everyday. :)
