So confused about the pill!

[Lk987]

In December, I started taking Ovranette (a combined pill) on day 5 of my cycle, and I took it regularly never missing one! I take it at about 5 pm everyday, and haven't had any major problems!
But I stupidly went out with my friends the day after Christmas, and had one too many, and I ended up being sick. I had taken my pill at 5 as normal, and then got sick at about half 2 in the morning. I read the leaflet and it said to use protection until I started my next pack, but 6 days later, I had sex with my boyfriend and he wasn't wearing a condom, but it was only for maybe 2-3 minutes and he didn't ejaculate (sorry, TMI, I know!). I'm now on day 3 of my 7 day pill break and I'm still waiting on my period (it's been 4 days since I had sex).
So, my questions are, how long does it take for the pill to be absorbed into my system, and does it mean it didn't work because I got sick 9 hours after taking it? And am I at a high rate of risk of pregnancy because of it?
Sorry if this is very long winded, if it's too confusing to read I'll try shorten it down! Thank you!

You're fine - at 9 hours after taking the pill, it was absorbed and you do not need to worry that your protection was compromised.

Thank you so much for the help! Just out of curiosity, how long does it take to be absorbed?

Full absorption usually takes between two and three hours.
