Hi SarahEliza,
I recently wrote an article about missed birth control. Hope it helps:

If you regularly forget to take them, you may want to start taking them at a time you do the same thing every day, such as brushing your teeth, or just before bedtime. If that doesn't work, you may want to discuss with the doctor who gave you the pills about what birth control option may work better for you. Or you may want to start using a back up method regularly, like withdrawal, condoms, or spermicide to help guard against unwanted pregnancy. I know that may make it less fun, but consider the alternative. Surely, your partner can agree on that. You also don't need to be stressing yourself out when it can be remedied so easily with a little extra responsibility and diligence.
Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
