    If you are on birth control, then you should be fine, even if you take it at different times, you are still taking it every day, so you have enough of the hormones from the pill to protect you from pregnancy, you can ask your doctor about other birth control products that might be easier for you to remember to take, but since you are taking the pill every day, even at different times, you should be fine, at least you are taking it every day. :-)

    Depending on how irregularly you take your pill, and how often/when you missed the last pill and doubled up -- anywhere from less than 1% over the course of a full year, to maybe 5% over the course of a full year.

    Since you are having trouble remembering to take your pills, you might benefit from talking to your doctor about a method you don't have to remember every day. The patch or ring, or an IUD or shot would probably be a better choice for you.
