Pack your pills . Even if you take them at home or work, carry your pills with you at all times. That way, you'll have them on hand if you're suddenly called away or realize that you forgot to take one. Mark your calendar. Try to pick up your pill packs on the same day every month, and then mark your calendar.
Many women pick up their packs every two months, on the first day of the month.
The 3-month rule . If you're new to the pill, be sure to call or visit your doctor after three months for a quick checkup. It's a great chance to discuss your experience and any questions you might have. Find the routine that's right for you. All of these are normal side effects which some women experience and which usually disappear after three menstrual cycles.
