Yes, as long as it is around the same time on a daily basis. It does not need to be the exact same minute or hour every day. It can still be effective if taken within 3-6 hours of your normal routine.

If you change the birth control patch on the scheduled day but not at the same hour, you are still protected. If later than that, use a backup method for the first seven days.

Even if you take it an hour late, you should be fine. It will work the same way, just don't make it a habit to be taken late :) hope this helped!
I took the birth control pill 1 hour late?
If you're on the progestin only pill ("minipill", such as Micronor, NoreBe, or Cerazette), you should use a backup method of birth control if you're more than three hours late. Us the backup method for the next two days after the late pill (or 14 days if you took ulipristal for emergency contraception). If you're on the combination (regular) birth control pill, you don't need to worry about a backup method unless you're more than 24 hours late.
What is the risk of getting pregnant if you were taking ortho cyclen and you were an hour late taking a pill and had sex that night?
As long as you are not taking the birth control pills different times each day consistently, you should still be protected. The good thing is that you did not forget to completely take the pill. You were only an hour late, you are fine. However, to be sure that pregnancy does not occur, continue to take your birth control pills at the same time that you were originally taking the pills, every day at the same time.

If you take the morning after pill and contiue to take the birth control pill is the birth control still effective for the rest of the month?
If you had missed a pill or been late with a pill, causing you to take the morning after pill, then you should use a back up method of birth control for the next seven days. If you didn't forget a pill or take a pill late, then I'm not sure why you took the morning after pill, but the birth control pill will still be effective even though you took the morning after pill. The morning after pill doesn't make the birth control pill less effective.
You put on a birth control patch a week late Can it make your period late?
Your period may be late if you started the birth control patch a week late. If you had sex during that time, you may be at risk for pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test to be sure.
