Can you give me suggestions for 1st time taking birth control pills ?

Take them regularly: The BCPs only work if you take them. Often when starting women can forget a pill and that can lead to a whole series of challenges. Best to associate taking the pill with something that you do without fail every day, (like brushing your teeth). Put a rubber band around the BCP pack and your toothbrush, so whenever you brush your teeth, (at night), you will take that day's pill.

Take pill: the same time of day every day. Can use condoms as a back up measure and to protect from STD's
