So it would be like you only missed one pill?

First of all, 5 hours might have been enough time for it to get into your blood., From what I remember, it's like 2 or 3 hours that you have to worry about.

And even if you never took the pill, you'd still be protected. You can miss one pill.

So you're fine!! Stop stressing!!

If you threw up five full hours after taking the pill, you are still very protected. The hormones are absorbed into your system by then.
