Question
I am about to start the pill for the first time. I am getting married at the end of the month, with the honeymoon to follow. Since our honeymoon is a six-hour time difference, how does that effect my taking the pill "at the same time everyday"?

If you have been taking the pill for a month, it will not matter too much. Habits are important. Take it at the same time no matter what time zone you are in. Consider using a condom if you have not been using the pill for a full month! Congrats!
