Although regularity is recommended and worth aiming for there's no need to go overboard. 20 minutes won't have any effect at all. It'll add about 2% of time between doses, and that's way too little to affect the hormone levels in your body.

Does it matter if you are off by ten minutes on your birth control?

I am on the desogen birth control pill, and the instructions say to take it "around the same time" every day. That means you can be 10-15 minutes late taking the pill with no side effects. After taking it more than 45 minutes late though, you start to run into dangerous territory. I don't reccomend ever being more than 15 to 20 minutes late taking it, EVER. I have been on the pill for one year now.
