I Often Forget to Take The Pill, What Other Contraceptive Options Are There?

I am on the pill but often find I forget to take it, especially after the 7 day pill-free week—it’s as if I get out of the habit

Some pills are now packaged with tablets to take every day, so during the hormone free days you are taking sugar tablets, this means that by taking tablets every day you don’t get out of the routine. Alternatively you could try the ring which is a flexible ring which contains the same hormones as are in the pill but are absorbed through the vagina over 3 weeks. The patch is another alternative where the pill ingredients are absorbed through the skin instead of by mouth. You wear a patch for three weeks with one week off. Each patch lasts for one week.
