Just my input, don't be mad!

I don't want to sound like your dr

but not taking the pills consistently can VERY easily mess up your cycle.
I was on BCP for many years, and there were 3 different times I completely missed AF, and I took a ton of HPT's (all neg). I know I had breakthrough bleeding too.
To help me remember to take mine on time (I sure didn't the first few years

) I set my alarm in the morning kept the pills and a glass of water next to the clock. But for me, the alarm had double duty . . . DH rarely woke up for his alarm so the time I picked for my pills was for a few minutes before his alarm was supposed to go off so I could kick him awake at the same time.

I hated being woken up by his alarm bc it had such an awful horrible sound, like those old school fire alarm buzzers.
