Q: I'm Back; & I Need Help!!
asked by: julia1311 on January 4th, 2007

It's been a while since ive posted here; i've learned how to trust the bc and worry less... However i'm extremly scared for a situation that happened yesterday... Please help...

My bf and I were drinking.... We also smoked pot (i dont normlly do this)... I got really sick and ended up throwing up... This was at around 4:00 pm... After I threw up, we had sex about 2 more times (unprotected)

i threw up again when I got home at around 8:00 pm.

I always take my pills on time and took my pill in the moring at 9:30 am.

Someone just tell me if I messed up and should be worried.... Or am I ok???
I'm scared to deathhhh

How long have you been on your pill? This will help people answer you better.....What time do you normally take it?

In my opinion, you're fine. You probably already metabolized most or all of the pill you took in the morning before throwing up. In addition, you should have enough of the hormones from previously taking the pill in your system to not make much difference.

Dont worry, you are probably fine. If I am not mistaken the pil is absorbed within about 2 hours of taking in which means you were well outside the window and therefore ok.

Yup. If you throw up within 4 hours of taking your pill then take another one, other wise you're ok (so long as it's a one off).

If you're proper sick for a few days then use a back up method until 7 days after you recover.
