I was supposed to start with my birth control pills last month, but i didn't. Does it make any difference if i start this month instead? Would the pills still be effective? Also, I know I'm supposed to take the pills every day at the same time in order for them to be effective. I took the first pill last night at 10pm. If I take one pill, for example, an hour before/after 10pm will that affect the effectiveness of the pill ?

It doesn't make a difference to start this month but the pill will still take a few weeks to begin working. It does say to take them at the same time everyday and it is important that you try to but being off by an hour doesn't mean that the pill has worn off or anything. It is more important not to skip a day!
