Have it by your bedside cabinet so with some water so when you wake up you immediately see it + take it!

I do have it on my bedside cabinet but I always think 'I'll take it later' and then I never do....

i don't. am in a relationship so the thought of getting pregnant makes me remember to take it.

What i do is set an alarm on my phone for everyday at the same time and that always reminds me to take it! Also carry it with you in your handbag etc so that you have it on you where ever you are!

I ocassionally forget, although not very often. I take my pill before I go to bed and just forget if I am too tired. If I forget, I just take it first thing in the morning instead.

Some people take it to help control bad periods or acne.

Loads of girls forget to take their pill. You'll see loads of them at the baby clinic.
bad periods? What is a bad period? It only lasts for 2-3 days so it shouldnt matter :confused:

My live-in nurse always remembers to give me my pills. I find it helps me to relax and fall asleep.

Um, no, YOURS last 2-3 days. Some girls last 5-7 days (me) and are very heavy.

No it doesn't, it just means you have to use condoms.

Yeah, which we can't- it's complicated but it basically translates to no sex for us! :frown:

Well count yourself lucky you've never had to a bad period. Some of us weren't so blessed.
