    Took pill 10 hours early...
    So as I had a complete stupid moment and thought it was Monday when it is still Sunday (when referring to taking the pill) I had already taken my pill ~ microgynon 30 ~ this morning at 11:30am and then just took Monday's pill at 1:30am (now)... what time should I take my next pill (Tuesday pill)? 1.30am tomorrow night..?

    Thanks for any advice

    I used to occasionally take my pill early - should be fine to take the next one at the normal time the chemicals are in your system for like 36-48 hours (I think, not 100% on this though) so you should be covered by it

    With most pills you can miss a day, sometimes two, and you're still covered. So taking it ten hours early shouldn't hurt. But then again, I'm a guy, so it's not an issue that I have. You do know that you're only fertile for about 48 hours though, so even if you missed it for a few days you're most likely OK (although obviously there's no point in taking unnecessary risks). The point is, getting pregnant isn't quite as easy as people think it is...
