  • im not sure if its really important 2 take it but i havnt taken mine for bout 4 days coz i av got a really bad memory uve jus reminded me so im gonna take it now im 9 weeks sorry ant bin much help x
  • I used to forget all the time too, never was any good at taking the pill either, thats why I chose the contraceptive injection until I was ready for kids. Dont worry girls, im sure it wont make much difference missing a few.
