About the pill

Just read an article - I need to start taking my pill at the same time every night! Major fluke that I'm not pregnant already... sometimes I don't take my pill for 3-4 days!!! EEEEK...

Might be a good idea Amy! My Mum got pregnant while on the pill - 9 months later my little sister was born! I was always really good at remembering to take mine (took it first thing in the morning - would have a glass of water by my bed and the pill packet in my bedside drawer). If you do have trouble remembering, maybe you could try the implanon? I tried that - it's not for everyone (some symptoms), but it if it agrees with your body, there's up to 3 years of worry-free contraception!

I'm pretty happy on my pill - it has an extra ingredient in it which keeps pimples at bay. I used to get bad acne on my back as a teenager which is why it was prescribed for me.

I keep it beside my bed too and usually take it before I go to bed - but the time I go to bed varies heaps. Perhaps I should start taking it in the morning as I get up at the same time every day.

You'd think 8 years on the pill would teach me how to take it properly!

Hmmm... or I could keep going the way I'm going and fall pg..... NO NO NO - must wait until next year
