I don't think I'd really have a problem with it, but...it's one of those pills that you take for three weeks...and then take a week long break.

I can already see myself forgetting it, because of the break.

So, some tricks and tips?

I have to remind my girlfriend every night.

Hmm, mark it on the calendar?

Put it with something you do every day.

I set the alarm on my boyfriend's cell phone to the same hour every day, with the message "your girlfriend needs you". But I usually remember nonetheless.

I dont take..."the" pill but i always have them where i put on my make up in the morning so i take one then...so i dont forget.

I don't take the pill at all, so I don't have to remember


Mark it on your calander, or put them in the bathroom so you remember to take them in the morning

Well I have a monophase pill, so I take one every stinking day, at the same exact time...  I take it in the morning at 7 am so I know I'll be home or asleep.  I set my alarm, take the pill, and go back to sleep.

But the problem is every once in a while, since I'm asleep, I don't really wake up long enough to do anything but turn off the alarm.
