Q: Question About the Pill

I've been on the pill, tri cyclen lo, for over a year now and have never had any major problems with it. It hasn't affected my body in any negative way and all in all has worked out quite well for me.
In the past month I've, for some reason, been forgetting to take my pill before I go to bed every night. This is really rare for me as I haven't forgotten since I first started using the pill early last year. This happened twice so far in August and as soon as I've remembered I've taken the missing pill (always the next morning) and things were fine. However, I forgot again last night (I don't even know why!) and took it this afternoon when I remembered. The problem is that I just got my period and I'm not expecting it until tuesday which is when I start my sugar pills. My question is should I continue on the pills before the sugar ones or just go straight to the sugar ones now since my period has started? Any help would be great, thanks!

Continue taking your pill as usual. Because you missed pills your body nedes to readjust to taking it as scheduled and skipping straight to the sugar pills now will make your chances of becoming pregnant much higher if that is a risk.

If you ware worried about remembering your pill then set an alard on a cell phone or watch to remind you at the same time everyday.
