Hey sweeties,
I just wonder if anyone can recommended anything for me. I am on my birth control pill called microgynon (or similar tehe ) but my problem is that I'm just so rubbish with it. I constantly forget to take it, then never go pick up my next pack;in time so go ages without (I'm at work all the time so never get chance) I know that being so useless with it probably?means it doesn't work as well and whatnot. Is there any alternative to this? I am terrible lol, Jessica xxx |

The patch every month, the shot every 3 months, and IUD, the sky is the limit. There are alot of busy people options. Our local health department gives you a one year supply at a time. Thats nice. Tried taking it in the mornings w/ breakfast or at night when you brush your teeth.

Have you given birth and with whom do you have sex?

I haven't given birth, and with my boyfriend. I need to be more careful I've just got a new job and it is my big chance we want to get further in out careers before we have kids!! It's just a pain getting my pill having to pick it up every month when I'm always at work! What's the shot every 3 months might be a bit better, I can't get out of work ever though the week though!

Can you try a mail order pharmacy?
I take medications 4 times a day, beginning at 6AM, so with enough self-discipline it definitely can be done. Since you have not given birth, an IUD is probably not possible. My understanding is that 3-month shots produce more side effects than your daily pill, so I would work on developing a routine (with toothbrushing perhaps?) to remember to take it daily. |

An IUD is possible even if you have not given birth. I am a living example.

Well, that an IUD is the way to go, since OP has sex with the bf only.

I'll have to ring up my gp surgery to speak to a doc and ask. I can't get there you see I have no more holidays as I'm new at my job. Just didn't want to seem like I didn't know what I was talking about --Plus the doc is a bit rubbish so I'll have to mention every option specifically. Thanks for the help honeys xxx

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
