Use your cell phone calendar to set it every day at the same time and take it when it goes off.
Or, use your watch alarm.
I'm horrible with remembering, but the calendar on my cell phone helps out a LOT!
If you are having sex then it IS a big deal! If you keep forgetting to take it on time, you lessen the already 99% effectiveness of the pill.
You should be ok, but if you are worried about it use condoms for the next week.

It really isn't that big of a deal. If you get break through bleeding (which I doubt you will) then you should consider using a back up form of birth control.
