Q: Digestion of Birth Control

asked by: backbeats on March 12th, 2004

Hello, i've been on "the pill" for a bit over two months now. However, last sunday, I took my pill at my regular time (5 30 in the evening) but I got very sick (stomach flu Sad

) and threw up around 9ish in the evening. Did my pill get digested? Should I wait for having unprotected sex, and if so, how long? Thanks for all your help!

It only takes less than an hour to leave your stomach and go into the rest of your body. I would say if there was a 3-4 hour window before you threw up, then you should be fine.
