Some days I would forget and then take two the next day. Seriously, I was super inconsistent. I never got pregnant. But then again, I'm not pregnant now since I've been off BC..... ugh..... Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388660 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:09:46 +0000 Andrea 1388660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After I eat breakfast, but I forget sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388432 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:59:22 +0000 MrsBrewer 1388432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I took it, I did at 10 PM every night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388423 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:57:40 +0000 blackbird 1388423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>830, right before bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388339 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:39:49 +0000 winniebee 1388339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right after T goes to bed. So, between 7:30 and 8. I pee and then take the pill. Easy to remember </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388329 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:36:11 +0000 mfa_lady 1388329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took mine at night before bed. At times, that could vary by a couple of hours, but it was my best shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388322 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:33:37 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1388322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take it when I'm going to bed at night. So I take it about 9pm. On the weekends I try to remember to take it at 9 too even though I rarely go to sleep that early on Friday and Saturday. It took me years to find a time frame that I actually remember to take it every single day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388259 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:11:44 +0000 NeekieRose 1388259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take it in the morning, around 9am. Rarely forgot and usually took within a couple hour window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388250 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:09:59 +0000 looch 1388250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388247 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:09:32 +0000 BananaPancakes 1388247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 pm. I have my phone set to remind me (or my husband). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388239 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:06:55 +0000 kiddosc 1388239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it in the evenings right around the time I got home from work. I set a reminder on my phone and kept the pill pack in my purse so I would always have it at that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388203 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:54:22 +0000 lilteacherbee 1388203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always took it at night, around 9 or 10 pm. It worked for me for 7 years! I almost never forgot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388196 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:51:15 +0000 Sweet T 1388196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the mini pill and take it at 2:00pm. I set an alarm on my phone to remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388193 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:50:52 +0000 purrpletulips 1388193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take it in the morning after I head downstairs, usually around 6:30 weekdays and 7:30- weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388182 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:48:48 +0000 Cherrybee 1388182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bedtime for me. It's in no way consistent but I figure you have a 12 hour window so it should be ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388180 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:48:28 +0000 septca 1388180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: It totally depends on the person and the type of pill. Progesterone-based pills have much stronger fatigue side effects than estrogen-based pills. When I was on normal BC I didn't have that issue, but when I was on a 100% progesterone pill, it was TERRIBLE. If I woke up in the MOTN I felt like a zombie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388177 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:47:43 +0000 ALV91711 1388177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take it when I first get up. If not I'll forget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388169 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:45:54 +0000 LindsayInNY 1388169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always took it before bed. The only time that really changed significantly was in college so I would take it before going out for the night (since it was usually around 9-10pm then anyways). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388168 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:45:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1388168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: eek! surprise for #3 ;)</p> <p>@septca: oh really?! I was on it for a year before LO and never got sleepy. Do you think it was your brand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388158 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:44:33 +0000 autumnlove 1388158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: 1:30 and I forget a few times a week. I set reminders but still manage to forget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388157 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:44:32 +0000 fancyfunction 1388157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 11am. It was just always a pretty decent time during work and everything. Now it gets hard for me to remember as I'm usually in the trenches with M at that time. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388155 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:43:52 +0000 septca 1388155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was on BCP I always took it right before bed - it was just part of my routine. Plus, BCP can make you really tired, so bedtime worked best for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388136 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:39:02 +0000 pui 1388136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was on the pill, I took it at 6pm everyday. Not really sure why... but it worked for me. At first I set a reminder alarm on my phone but over time I just remembered it around 6 everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-on-the-pill#post-1388130 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:36:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1388130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time do you take your pill every day? Are you consistent?</p> <p>I'm going back on the pill now (not the mini pill) and I know it's advised to take it at the same time everyday. I get up at different times in the morning depending on the day so somedays it would be 6am and other days 8am, so I am taking it at lunch time. I have to set a reminder on my phone or I'll forget! </p>
