Vomitting and birth control efficiency
Posted: 03-25-08 22:29pm

My boyfriend and I had sex on Sunday, and that night I proceeded to take my pill like always. However Monday night after I took my pill I felt really sick. In the middle of the night I vomitted and was sick to my stomach all day Tuesday.

I understand vomitting and diarreah cause the pills to not work as well. I threw up Mondays pill (at least I think I did...I vomitted only 7 hours after I took it...). I heard that sperm can live inside a woman for a few days. Is there any way that I could become pregnant by Monday's pill not working and sperm still inside of me? Or am I over reacting? I'm still taking my pill as scheduled however I'm not sure if I ate something bad and got it out of my system or if I'll continue throwing up if it is something more than just bad food.

You are OKAY.

AS long as you had the pill in you for at least 2 hours, it did absorb into your system before vomiting.

You are still protected. The pill was absorbed into your system by then. I hope you feel better!
