She can't take the pill because she can't remember. What would you recommend would be the safest besides the pill.

ALL hormonal methods of birth control have the opportunity to create side effects. This is because the chemicals that are placed into the body react differently with each person.
The best method for someone who cannot remember to take a pill every day might be to try the NuvaRing. The ring is inserted for 3 weeks, out for 1 (for the period), then a new one is inserted.
The shot is effective for 3 months at a time, but many women report extreme side effects from this method (though I never experienced any).
Some people might recommend an IUD; however this method is NOT recommended for anyone who's never carried a pregnancy to term. Also, the IUD has a long list of physical side effects ranging from heavy and irregular bleeding to medical emergencies requiring surgery.
There are also barrier methods, but those require planning. BUT, they don't require a daily necessity to remember.
So either she gets better about taking the pill, looks into the Ring or shot, or you two learn to use a diaphragm or condom.
YOU could remember to call her daily and tell her to take her pill; or she could get into a routine of taking them when she brushes her teeth (this is what I do, and I RARELY miss a pill).

She needs to set her cell phone or watch to one time every day and take it when the alarm goes off.
Then there is also the Nuvaring.
I would never ever ever recommend the depo shot. So many negative side affects that a majority of women have while on that shot (not to mention the class action lawsuits because of what it does to women).
You are asking two different questions.
The main one "bcp that doesn't have side affects"... well I'm on Kariva, and I've had no side affects while on it.
The other one "what to recommend besides the pill" would be either condoms, nuvaring, or and implant or IUD.

They all have side effects and I am not sure what you mean by she can't remember to take the pill. Has she put up a sign some wheres that is printed off the computer saying Take Your Pill? Everything you put into your body has side effects.

condom or the cap they put inside or the coil the doctor fits inside the woman to stop sperm entering a certain area, but these have been known to be quite dangerous or not work very well.
my friend has been on the contraceptive injection since she was 16, she hasnt had a period since then and goes back every 3 months to have another injection (in her lower back)....i personally wouldnt like havin long term contraception like this as you never what could be goin on in your body havin a period shows you are healthy and everything is alright in your body, not havin one would worry me and plus it flushes things out.
go with your girlfriend to the doctors or family planning clinics, they are really helpful and either doctor or family plannin can tell you all about contraception and give you free condoms, pills etc
i was on migrogynon 30 or sumthn....i had terrrible side effects and got realy low and ratty, i went back and cahnged my pill and now im cilest, its purple and has no side effects, if she sets an alarm she wont forget and if she takes the pills with her

The only truly safe method is not having sex. All other forms have some potential side effect.
If you can tolerate latex the condom is probably the next safest but also not exactly perfect with a rather high failure rate.

needless to say your female chum wasn't paying interest while the surgeon informed her the pill isn't a hundred% helpful. She additionally needless to say did no longer examine the literature that is composed of each packet of pills. Now that she knows she is pregnant she needs to end the pill. in easy terms her surgeon might comprehend if there may be any area outcomes, if she thinks that staying on the pill will reason her to now no longer be pregnant she is lifeless incorrect. there is in easy terms one way for her to end her being pregnant until now term.
