Mini pill- when do you take it

I've just been prescribed the mini pill for heavy bleeding. I know you have to take it at the same time every day but does it matter when? I think before bed might make more sense for me
Any thoughts appreciated

Whenever is fine as long as it's the same time each day. If it fits in with other pill regimes then you're more likely to remember it so if you take other evening pills, that might be easier.

Which mini pill is it? with Cerazette you have to only take it in the same 12 hour window. So technically you can take it at 8am and the next day by 8pm. Others only have a 3 hour window I believe.

Doesn’t really matter… I take mine every morning when I get up along with my other medications (I take 22 things every day as I have a lot of complex medical issues). I’ve been on the mini pill for 10 years and love it as once the initial spotting settled down I haven’t had a period or any bleeding in all that time. I now take it as
half the progesterone part of my HRT - I have oestrogel and utrogestan as well. (I’m 41 and in early menopause).
