removing post

Has anyone made the switch? Can you tell me what your experiences were? I LOVE Ortho Tricyclen. My skin is great and my sex drive is fine. I wouldn't switch except that I can't remember to take it everyday. And for once in my life I have a boyfriend so it matters! Thanks.


It's a shame to switch forms just because you can't remember to take it.

Have you honestly tried to put yourself on a schedule? Is there something that you do every day at about the same time, such as brush your teeth, eat dinner, watch a TV show, etc? Try to find something like that, and have your pill there so that you can take it then. If there is something that you do everyday, it shouldn't be hard to keep yourself reminded to take a pill.

I'm in the same boat with you. I can't remember my pill. I even have an alarm set on my cell phone but sometimes you just can't take it at that moment for whatever reason and you forget later. I'm thinking of the Nuvaring or an IUD.

the nuva ring is awesome

i just recently switched to nuva ring... i think the concept is great....it wasn't that i couldn't remember- i just wanted the lowest dose of bc possible and thats the ring. unfortunately, i am all too aware of it...it isn't slipping out or anything...i don't know...i just feel it....maybe its just that i know its there and its weirding me out a bit. anyways, i don't think i'll stick to it...i am actually going to go back to condoms and may even invest in the Lady Comp...anyone know anything about it?
I do have friends that love the nuva ring though....i think its just depends on the person....but good luck if you make the switch.
