What time to take pill?
Hi, I've just started taking the pill and know that it works best if you take it at the same time every day. I'm not really sure when would be a good time though..if I take it at breakfast it would be at a different time at the weekend but I'm worried that I'll forget about it at other times or will be out. Any suggestions about when a good time might be? If you're on it,when do you take it?
Thanks, sorry if this is a bit of a stupid post!

I found it was much easier at taking it at say 10 at night,then your usually always awake,Carry it around with you in your bag then if you happen to stay out and your not at home you can always take it.Instead of it being at breakfast the times could vary alot at weekends as you said.
Yeh i take it around bedtime, 11ish normally get in to bed then remember i haven't taken it. works quite well. I've got the worst memory too!
i take it at 6.30 in the evening because, particularly at uni, times when i'm awake/sober/anywhere near the box with the pills in are few and far between. plus if you take it near mealtimes, you're less likely to feel sick. and i agree with lynseyweth's phone alarm thing: if it wasn't for that, i'd never remember.
We learned in psychology last year that your absorbtion (sp?) rates are higher later on in the day, therefore making it even more likely to be effective if you take it later in the day. Don't know if this is actually true, but there must be somthing scientific backing it up or else we wouldn't have had to learn it lol.
morning=all day to catch up if you miss it
night=booze > sick > thow it up
night=booze > sick > thow it up
After you've had something to eat.
if you get up at a regualr time then take it as part of your morning routine,
When I had a regular morning routine because of work and college, I took my pill in the morning when I got up but now it varies a lot as to whether I'm awake etc. so I find it easier to take it at 10 every evening, as like others have said, I'm always awake at this time and it is much easier than having to find a suitable tims during the day to take the pill (not at work or college).
i normally take it at 1pm every day, does it matter however, if some days i take it at 3 or 4...?? i know i shouldnt!

As long as you're on the combined pill and not the progesterone-only pill, this won't make a difference.
I take mine in the morning when I get up, usually anywhere between 8-11.
