One of the most common reasons for the failure of the pill is forgetfulness. Women can forget to take the bill, reducing its effectiveness rate. As a reminder, women can keep their pills next to their toothbrush. This makes it easier for a woman to remember the pill.
Some women may experience nausea when taking the pill for the first time. Vomiting soon after taking the pill may also disrupt the hormonal cycle. Women who experience these symptoms can cope by taking the pill right before going to bed or with a snack. The nausea should go away after the initial weeks.
Women who forget to take the pill during their designated time should take one as soon as they remember. If a woman does not remember until the next day, then she can take two pills in one day. Any more missed days than that and a woman is advised to see her physician and to use a back-up form of birth control until the start of her next menstrual cycle.

A very small number of women can develop fibrous uterine growths, kidney disease, thyroid disease, migraine headaches and epilepsy because of birth control pills. As a rule of thumb, women who experience severe symptoms in the few weeks after taking oral contraceptives should see a physician as soon as possible.
