I have searched for an answer to this and can't find one - but maybe the answer is simple! When we go on holiday this year there will be a 5 hour time difference. For anyone else that has had this problem, did you carry on taking the pills at the same time i.e. if I take them at 7pm and the country I am going to is 5 hours behind, do I take them at 2pm? Or do you take them the same time with no effect?

I was on this for a while before switching to the 1/5 conti and I took mine in the morning. If we were away (with a time difference) I just took them at the same time over there, didn't seem to make any difference to me so I would say it should be fine.

I've not had the issue with HRT but when I was on the pill I was advised by pharmacist to take tablet at UK time. (This was interesting when in New Zealand with a 12/13 hour time difference!). Not sure whether we would need to be as precise with the timing for HRT

I'm on patches & just changed patch at same time of day as I did in the UK, despite a 5 hour time difference. I was fine.
