Diarrhoea and vomiting after pill

Unread post by Doritosmylife »

Morning all,

Last night I took my pill at around 9pm, this was pill 17 of a 21 pill pack, I had sex with my partner and then went to bed.

This morning I woke up feeling ill at around 6am, and at 7am, I had a severe bout of vomiting and diarrhoea. My vomit (sorry!), was quite recognisable as my previous nights meal, and there was a suspiciously small white circle, so I'm unsure if this was my pill, strangely in absorbed. I haven't been ill since but I've taken another pill and will take another again at my usual time tonight. I will then continue my pill pack and skip the placebo week and go straight to the next pack.

Will I still be protected from pregnancy?

Thanks x

Hi Doritos,

It takes a pill around 2-3 hours to be absorbed into your system, so if the vomiting happened after that amount of time, you can assume you still have your normal protection amount from your pill.
