How can I... -
April 11th 2010, 11:27 PM
...remember to take my birth control on time? I always seem to have problems with this. Anyone have any suggestions or things they do to help them remember?
"Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it." |

If you have a boyfriend ask him to remind you everyday. Or have a friend do it.
Geek? Nerd? More like intellectual badass.  "You ran through Africa, and Asia, and Indonesia.. And now I've found you, and I love you. I want to know your name." |

Take it when you get up in the morning. Just set them beside your bed, so when you wake up, you can just take them straight away. Or put them right next to something that you use everyday at around the same time, like your hairbrush or toothbrush. You could also set an alarm on your phone to go off every day at the same time.
Dreaming about the day When you wake up and find That what you're looking for Has been here the whole time. |

You can always associate it with eating a meal. Remember that every time you eat breakfast (or whatever meal you choose), take your pill. Put them on the table if that will remind you.
 I also like ShimmeringFaerie's idea of putting an alarm on your phone as a reminder! |

This isn't specific to just birth control but I have a reminder on my phone to for all the medication I have to take during the day. If you're like me you probably look at your phone loads of times before you even step out the door in the morning, so you shouldn't miss the reminder.

I suggest the phone thing as well (:
However, I always take mine before I go to bed at night, since I got to bed at around the same time usually. It's better to cross the line & suffer the consequences than to just stare at the line for the rest of your life.    |
