I've been taking it since I was 16. I'm 21 now. I like the pill. My period is regular and the PMS (while still pretty bad) isn't nearly as bad as before I took it. Buttttt I am bad about forgetting to take it and doubling up the next day. In September, one of my pills fell down the sink drain!! So I missed my period this month. I am sexually active and I'm worried by not taking it on the dot every day, it's not even that effective and I've been lucky to not get pregnant. I am thinking about getting the shot. What other forms of birth control are there and are they as effective as the pill? Sidenote: I do NOT want the implant.

Thanks for any suggestions, ladies!!
