I'm the WORST when it comes to BCP

Just took Friday's pill. I'm a moron. FH is away though, so no worries, but really, can I EVER get on track with this stuff??

Anyone else as bad as me??

I set a reminder on my phone to go off every night at the same time so I can remember. It's boom-chika-bow music

I'm like this every month, so typically I'm right there with ya!
Every time I get a new pack, I say to myself, 'Becca, you'll be different this month, you'll take your pills ON TIME rather than 3 days late!'

I tried the alarm thing and all it did was pisss me off! Loving your music choice though!!!

I have the same, except mine is the REALLY annoying T-Mobile ring so that I get up to shut it the heck off and take my pill

Re: I'm the WORST when it comes to BCP

becca be careful!!!!!!

I did this like 2 weeks ago (the weekend of our eparty)...........I forgot to take Saturdays and Sundays.....monday morning I woke up and said OH WHEN I GET OUT OF THE SHOWER, I HAVE TO DOUBLE UP THE PAST 2 DAYS.....

2 seconds later, I got my . ANNOYINGGGGGGGGG

I just take it every morning on the way to work. I keep it in the cup holder thingy and when I stop for my Dunkin Donuts daily tea run before work, I take it together.....

I am way too paramoid. I keep them next to my toothbrush and every morning when I brush my teeth, I take my pill.

Re: I'm the WORST when it comes to BCP

I havent been on the pill in a really long time, but when i was, i would forget all the time... its pretty much the reason i stopped taking it....

Re: I'm the WORST when it comes to BCP

I make sure I take it every night before I got to bed, which has a 4 hour range but better late then never.

I tried taking it in the am but i'm not really all there in the am lol.

Re: I'm the WORST when it comes to BCP

wow i thought i was bad. i try to take it within a half hour plus or minus of my target time.

its really hard for me because i was on the patch for almost 5 years & that's a once a week kind of deal.
