When Does Everyone Take Their Pill? Posted: 10-29-07 11:16am
Hey everyone. I really need to get a
regular time to take my pill. I used to
take it before I go to bed - but really
that was so irregular!
When does everyone take it - I'd just like
to see how everyone remembers / what time
is best for them!
Also, if I start taking my pill at a
different time for the next pack (like in
the morning instead of in the afternoon)
will I have to use back up for a week
before I'm safe?
Thanks!

When I was on BC, I use to take my everday
@ 5pm. To remeber, I'd set an alarm in my
phone so that I'd NEVER forget to take it
and I NEVER did. So I wouldn't forget to
set my alram, as soon as I would turn it
off I'd set it again for the next day.
That's what worked for me.

You can switch times during
the pack and be safe as long as you're not
on the mini-pill.
When I was on the pill I experienced
taking it at two different times.
Initially I took it in the morning at
breakfast. That was the most regular for
me. I eventually switched to taking it at
night and became very irresponsible and it
is only by a miracle (not miscarriage ) that I
am not pregnant. Long story.
I suggest taking it in the morning
personally. It becomes part of the
routine. Wake up, shower, make toast,
drink juice and swallow pill.

Awesome - thanks for the input! But what
about weekends Eiri when you slept in? Did
you set an alarm to take it or something?

I had both mine and my dh's cell phone set
for a reoccuring alarm. They were both set
to a lullaby type ring tone. LOL. I took
mine a 7pm. We were normally together at
this time. (for dinner normally) and if my
cell wasn't around his was. It got to be
habit pretty quick. For both of us.

I set an alarm to take it at 7:30 (I'm on
the mini pill so I have to be exact).
Sometimes I'm just waking up, sometimes
I'm still asleep, but I keep a water
bottle by my bed so I can just roll over,
swallow the pill, and go back to sleep.
Now I practically don't even wake up, I
just sleep take it.... lol
