Thank you! It's my last week of active pills so I've been getting up all week at 4 just to take my pill and then going back to sleep for another hour or so before I have to wake up for work. I was really surprised to hear that it's o.k. to just bump it up an hour. I try to be really strict about the pill because I'm not ready to have kids... >
