Angel is right, there is usually a 12-hour window when you are allowed to take the pill. Ten minutes is fine. You can always bring up your concern with your doctor though; making a habit of taking it at the same time every day is the best thing to do since it's effective most that way.

Side effects can take a few days, and everyone is different. Just because your mom didn't have any doesn't mean that you won't either, but don't base it solely on what she says.
