For all you ladies out there on the pill- I can't recommend enough switching to the 'ring' instead. It's awesome, you don't need to remember to take a pill every day/night, and you totally forget it's there. It's more effective than the pill as well, because the accuracy can't be reduced by forgetting to take a pill at the same time all the time, etc. It also costs about the same. It's called NuvaRing, for the record.
