forgetting to take pills - affect you emotionally?

hi sorry if this has been posted before, in advance but i couldnt find it.

im on the contraceptive pill, but im really awful at remembering to take them! i forgot to take it on sunday night, so i took it monday morning but if i take more than one in a day it makes me sick. so i should have taken one this morning but i forgot :redface:

today i been feeling really emotional and upset about everything, like i would just before my period when im not on the pill. is this related to me forgetting to take it, as in hormonal issues, or could this be because everything is generally getting me down? i feel like poo :frown:

perhaps you could try setting an alarm on your photo or something to help remind you to take it

How long have you been on them? Just wondering because the first 6 months i was on mine they made me ill generally, and especially when I took two in the same day.

Do set an alarm on your phone, or if you take them at night, put the pack on your pillow so you physically can't forget to take it before you go to sleep!

It's possible. I get PMS symptoms if I miss more than one pill :smile:

i think this is the sixth pack ive had. yeah ive found they make me feel ill generally. i took two in the same day the day before my driving test and i spent the whole night up being sick!

i think it must have been the lack of the pill making me emotional because i took one last night and i feel fine today!!

although ive felt sick all morning but i dont know if its related lol

thanx for the help anyways xxx
