I have mine next to my contacts case, so when they come out, the pill goes in! (Obviously not at the moment, but YKWIM). I love the fact you've got 12 hours with the combined pill, 1 hour just isn't enough for me.]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 23:07:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=292244&title=taking-the-pill#292244 <![CDATA[Taking the Pill : Right next to my alarm clock every...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=292236&title=taking-the-pill#292236 Author: caliandjack

Right next to my alarm clock every morning I take it.

With the combined pill you have up to 12 hours to take it before its classed as missed, and you only have to wait 7 days to be safe.

Lots of great ideas! I think I might use the idea of setting my alarm on my cellphone to go off at the same time everyday to remind me. I have to start taking the pill but I am so slack at remembering to take it everyday ]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 22:36:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=292214&title=taking-the-pill#292214 <![CDATA[Taking the Pill : Thats not a silly idea, i&#039;ll...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=292038&title=taking-the-pill#292038 Author: mummy_becks

Nope on the combined one. I need to pretty good with it and take it at the same time each day to turn my ovaries off.

I could always put it in the fridge on the yoghurts so when I give them to the boys I remember to take it.

Pre kids I used to put the packet in our toothbrush holder and take it when I brushed my teeth in the morning. Generally was always at the same time everyday before work etc. But I found with the mini pill (if thats what you are on) you have to take it within an hour give or take every day and now, after kids, I don't brush my teeth at the same time ]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:11:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=292005&title=taking-the-pill#292005 <![CDATA[Taking the Pill : hooper wrote:put next to your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=291903&title=taking-the-pill#291903 Author: Kels

I have mine beside my alarm clock. I let the alarm go off every day (at either 6.30 or 7), and I MUST take the pill before I hit snooze. Thats my little rule. It works a treat. On weekends, I just take it, turn the alarm off and go back to sleep - can you tell I don't have kids yet, lol! And I agree with busymum, you are more likely to remember it during the day than when you are asleep, so take it first thing in the morning to give you more chance to remember your mistake!]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:14:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=291900&title=taking-the-pill#291900 <![CDATA[Taking the Pill : Put it with your keys?

Not a coffee drinker so that wouldn't work. I may set my cellphone to go off at a normal time to take it - that means having it with me all the time.

Two things that worked at different times for me were
#1 Taking it every morning when I brushed my teeth. I kept it by my toothbrush so it was right there to remind me. (maybe not so good with inquisitive little ones who use the bathroom tho?)
#2 Kept it in my bag and set my alarm on my cellphone to remind me everyday at the same time to take it.

Good luck Becks!

Yep! Set a daily reminder on your mobile and/or computer at a certain time of the day.

I have my mobile set to go off EVERY day at 9.30am. Works a treat.]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 15:06:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=291776&title=taking-the-pill#291776 <![CDATA[Taking the Pill : I&#039;m going to be starting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14115&PID=291767&title=taking-the-pill#291767 Author: mummy_becks

I'm going to be starting the pill (hopefully next weekend) and I need to be damn good at taking it at the same time each day to get it to work for me.

Any ideas on how I can get my brain to remember to take it please??
