A lot of women who are taking birth control for contraception want to now if the pill should be taken at the same time each day. And ideally, they should. Do what you can to take them around the same time each day on every day of the month. For one, it develops a habit, even on the days when you don't need to be taking a pill, it keeps you in the habit of taking it when you're taking the placebo pills. Because if you miss a pill or take it at different times of the day, there's a possibility that your body might ovulate, or release an egg, and that means that it's possible for you to get pregnant if you time intercourse with ovulation. If you skip a pill or take it at a much different time of the day than what you're used to taking it at, and you're about mid-cycle, then I do recommend using a back-up form of contraception just to be safe.
Also watch for your next period to come, and if the day comes when it should start, and it doesn't, then you should take a pregnancy test just to either rule out or confirm that as the cause of your missed period. And if you are indeed pregnant, then congratulations! Don't start taking more pills, and instead, call your doctor and schedule your first prenatal appointment. If the first result is negative, but you haven't started bleeding for another 5 to 7 days, then re-test and see what that result is. It is possible to get false negatives if the pregnancy test is taken a little bit too early, and for some women, that might be even beyond the day of their period or the day after, depending on when they actually ovulated. Home pregnancy tests can pick up pregnancy about 2 weeks after conception, and for women who ovulate a little bit later, that will mean that they detect pregnancy a little bit later.
