What can I do if I find it hard to remember to take the pill?

Maybe you need a daily reminder. Try taking your pill at the same time as you do something else every day. Setting a daily reminder on your phone can also be a helpful way to remember to take your pill.

Still not working?

“If you use a reminder system and you’re still having trouble remembering, you might want to consider a method that you don’t have to think about quite so often. You only have to remember to change the patch once a week and you only have to worry about the ring on a monthly basis. There are even options you can forget about for longer. [The shot] is good for 3 months and IUDs and the implant are effective for years (but you can have them removed anytime you want).”
