Is the protection maintained if I take Ovulan tablets every day at the same time - a difference of half an hour-hour?
Does taking Ovulan birth control pills every day at different times (difference of about half an hour, an hour) make them not work? I am in the middle of the first package, I take one-component tablets because I am breastfeeding.

To @Pagy: A delay of more than 12 hours would be significant - then the protection can be reduced. According to the manufacturer: If more than 36 hours have passed between taking two consecutive pills, the contraceptive effectiveness may be impaired. If the delay in taking the tablet is less than 12 hours, then the missed tablet should be taken by the woman as soon as she remembers it, and the next tablet at the usual time. If the delay is more than 12 hours, an additional method of contraception should be used for another 7 days. If the tablet was missed in the first week and sexual intercourse took place in the week preceding the missed tablets, the possibility of becoming pregnant should be considered."
And I can ask for information what time difference would be significant?

According to the manufacturer's recommendation, Ovulan tablets should be used "every day, at about the same time". Thus, the difference of about half an hour-hour does not affect their effectiveness and protection is preserved.
