My girlfriend recently started taking Ortho-Tricyclen for birth control. She's over in England for this semester, but will be returning in December. She's been taking the Pill at 7:30 am over there. The equivalent time in Boston (where she goes to school) is 2:30 am, which will be a very inconvenient time to pop a pill each morning.

Anyone have any solid references showing the effects of adjusting to this time change, and the change of effectiveness as a contraceptive for taking the pill at non-24-hour increments?

My girlfriend will want references or the opinion of doctors, no hearsay. We've already checked with the drug company but they won't tell her anything saying that they won't give medical advice, and Planned Parenthood seems clueless about this.

Thanks in advance
