Things You Can Do To Remember To Take Your Contraception Pill.

We all know how difficult it can be to remember to take your contraception pill at the same time every day. It is more common than you think for women to forget to take their contraception pill. I have even done it myself. However, it is really important we try our best to avoid missing our daily medication, as missing a pill or two can affect your reproductive system.

Keep in mind, that we are only human. It is extremely easy to forget to do specific tasks. However, there are a few ways to avoid forgetting to complete the required task.

1. Set an alarm

Use your phone to set an alarm for the same time every day. In the description of the alarm, clearly state what you are reminding yourself of. In this case, you are reminding yourself to take your contraction pill. If you have a habit of ignoring alarms, set multiple to make sure you do take it.

2. Make it part of your daily routine.

Take the pill straight away when you wake up in the morning. Take the pill first and then continue on with your daily life. By adding this step into your routine, you will automatically take the pill by habit.

3. Track when you take it.

Start a new planner to take note of when you take your pill. It can be written or digital. In this same planner, you can also take notes of when you get your period, how heavy it is and how long it lasts for.

4. Ask your partner or family member to help remind you.

It may sound cheesy, but if you are really struggling to remember to take your contraception pill, ask someone who lives in the same household to help remind you.

5. Take it at the same time as your other medications.

If you happen to take medication other than your contraception pill, take them at the same time. Only do this if your doctor confirms doing so is okay, as some medications should not be mixed together.
