Hi, I have missed two pills in two months, one in each month, I'm just wondering, am I still protected if I don't use condoms?

It depends where you were in your cycle when you forget to take your pill. Obviously you made it, as you didn't mention a possible pregnancy issue.
Missing one pill really won't screw up your rotation at all, but you must double up the next day right away. Even missing two pills is not to much cause for alarm, again it depends where you are when you miss them.
If you somehow miss more than two pills in any given month and no matter how far into the pack you are, you should stop that pack and let your period start, then start over again. Be sure to use an alternate method of bc, like a condom. Some say you can miss 3 pills and triple up with out a problem, i wouldn't chance it.

So, like i said, it depends where you are in your cycle if a pill is missed.

I believe in the first month I missed it, it was about half way through. The second month is was my second pill that I missed, but I did take them both as soon as I could.

Sounds like your all good then. I used to place my pills next to the coffee pot on the counter as that was the first place i headed when i woke up.

There are a few good reminder spots, next to your toothbrush, alarm clock, computer, someplace where you find yourself a lot. I would also set my cell phone alarm to ring at a certain time to remind me as well.

I agree with what bbfeet9 said although I am curious to know what kind of birth control you're using? I don't think it should be an issue but I'd like to know just because I know that different ones work different ways, and sometimes even skipping one day can throw your period off for the next month. Thanks!
