I Think I Threw Up a Pill Posted: 03-05-06 23:01pm
I took my pill this morning at around 6am,
my normal time, and later I started
throwing up. I don't know what time I
threw up. It was before 8 I think.
What would I have to do if I did throw it
up? Should I take my next pill and just
finish my pack early? I had sex the
night before but he pulled out. (i know
it's a myth but it's comforting) i'm on
ortho tri cyclen lo and it was the 3rd
pill of my 3rd week.
If I don't have sex until after 7 days of
my next pack, should I be okay?
Edit: and if there is a risk i'm
pregnant, when's the soonest I can take a
test?
Thanks.

Birth control is absorbed into your system
after 1/2 an hour... So as long as you
puked after that you should be alright.
So just take your remaining pills as
regular.

That's just it, I don't know when I threw
up. I was half asleep. So if I did
throw it up, what would I have to do?

Geez I wish carifairy was here, she would
know the answer to this one she works for
planned parenthood. Your best bet is to
call your doctor or even call a pharmacy
and talk to the pharmacist and see what
they say to do since you are uncertin of
when you threw up.

My first thought when I read this is:
you most likely will be alright if you
take the remaining pills as normal. Every
month, when at the end of your pack you
either take the "inactive" pills (that is
really nothing more than sugar) or you
take nothing at all..... In any case, you
are still able to have sex in this week
because you are still protected. So
missing one day mid-cycle shouldn't screw
you up too badly.
