Does anyone else absolutely suck at the mini pill

So I set an alarm and still manage to forget to take my mini pill and I forgot to take three days in a row when I was out of town last week. I feel so irresponsible. I plan on POAS as soon as I can make it to Target to buy some. Does anyone else have any techniques to help them remember? What time of day do you take your pill?

    I have no advice but wanted to let you know you're not alone. I have alarms set on my phone but I always shut them off thinking "Ok, I've got to take my pill" and then forget about it. Or I'll be busy at work and I'll shut the alarms off thinking I'll take them as soon as it slows down. I always forget though. I totally suck.

    When I was on it, I set my alarm for 9:55pm. I figured I am ALWAYS still awake at that time. I kept it in my purse so that just in case I happen to be out (which rarely ever happened) at least I would still have it with me.

    Oh yeah, and I gave FI the respondsibility of reminding me!  Which rarely happended either!

    I have a pill box for the week--yes, like a senior citizen. On work days, I bring it to the office for the week and it's an alert on my work calendar when I first get to the office and open my email accout. At home (weekends, vacation days) the pill box goes in front of the coffee pot for when I get my first cup of the day.

    This is the exact reason I got an iud.  I knew I would suck at it.

    I set my phone alarm for 11 p.m (we are night owls) and take out my pack of pills before I shut the alarm off.

    The mini pill thickens the cervical mucus and is only effective for 24 hours... you may be screwed. lol  Let's just hope you didn't ovulate right? I forgot it one day here and there and was fine thankfully.
