A fear of getting pregnant—of bringing “a stomach” into her mother’s house—kept Jane from having sex when she was younger. Eventually she realized there were other ways to avoid pregnancy. She chose the pill.
Wondering how she remembers to take it every single day? It goes a little something like this: You wake up and need your coffee? Not Jane. She wakes up and needs her pill. Simple as that.
(If you like how the pill works for you, but have a hard time remembering to take it, sign up for our daily reminders. They can help keep you on track.)
I just NEED to have my pill.
