If you are on the birth control pill, chances are you absolutely love that they are so effective at preventing pregnancy and regulating your period, but you hate having to remember to take it everyday. Missing even one pill can really screw up your cycle and cause unplanned pregnancies, so it's important not to forget to pop your pill at the same time every day.

I just came across a clever little gadget that may help you remember. Not only do these cases hold your birth control pills in a discreet way, but they also have an alarm you can set to beep when it's time to take your pill. They're made by pillpacks.com and they come in a variety of styles to fit the kind you take. They cost about $20 and hey, aren't we all for anything that helps us to remember something important?!

If you go to bed at the same time every night, keep your pills on your bedside table or next to your bedroom lamp.
If you eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner at the same time every day, keep your pills in the kitchen by the fridge or a cabinet - someplace where you will see your pill pack every day.
Set an alarm on your Outlook calendar or your cell phone, and keep your pills in your purse if you're the kind of girl who is always on the go.
If you don't have a desk job, buy yourself a birth-control case with a built in alarm.
Chances are you have a friend at work or a roommate who is on the pill too, so create a buddy system and remind each other every day.

These are my tips, but ladies, if you have any tips that work for you, please share them below.
