I'm going to travel to Brazil and there's going to be a difference in time.I take the pill at 9:30pm every night but there it'll be 6 hours ahead. What should I do? Should i continue taking the pill when my USA watch hits 9:30pm even though it will be 3:30am in Brazil?

Pill and Traveling (Time Difference)

Double check with a doctor but I would take it before you go to bed. Hours early is better than hours late.

Continue taking the pill at your USA time, not the Brazil time. If you're going to be in Brazil for an extended period of time, several weeks then think about changing the time, but using a backup method as well just in case.

i agree with amanda. the time of where you are at really doesnt matter. your body just needs the pill the exact same time everyday

But is getting up to take a pill at 3:30am gonna happen? I know for sure if it was me and I was asleep at that time, I would not be getting up to take a pill.Agree that would be the BEST plan. But if she will not be sure to do it, wouldn't it be more prudent to take it earlier?

If she's going to do that then she'll need to be using a backup method during her trip and after she returns as well.

agreed. Depo shots are just so much easier.
