Thoughts to ponder: The pill works by providing a consistent amount of hormone in your blood so you don't release eggs, thus they can't be fertilized. If you are forgetting, then the hormone level will not be consistent and you may release eggs & get pregnant. If you are not pregnant now, you may want to consider a different form of BC.

Pregnancy Test: You need a pregnancy test urine and serum to rule out pregnancy. If it is a possibility I would avoid alcohol and take prenatal vitamins. In terms of birth control, did you know that you can have an IUD placed in your uterus and have consistent birth control for several years? It has become the most popular form of birth control among women for this reason, no pills to remember.
