Hi guys,
I took my pill about 20 minutes ago, and just now i had a "sick burp" in my mouth. Nothing came out but i did have like vomit in my throat. I am going to school, and I am not going to take another pill because i assume its still all in my body? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Vomiting and BCP
i spoke to my mum and she said since i didn't actually vomit, its fine as it's still in my body. I assume this is ok, and its too late for me to take another pill. HOwever, can you please let me know if i should takr any precautions, or am i just worryibng unduly??

Hi Esta,
Because, you didn't vomit vomit, you can assume your pill will be/is absorbed. However, if you're currently sexually active, you can use condoms as a back-up method to ease any lingering worries (and we actually recommend using condoms and pills as buddies anyway).

Re: Vomiting and BCP
okay thanks!!! not really much point taking it anyway now as it would be a missed pill. Slightly off topic, but we used withdrawal always. Why are condoms recommended over withdrawal? Is it because of STis or pregnancy? (i understand withdrawal is not always very effective!!!)

Because condoms are more effective in both perfect and typical use, and condoms are also the only thing that can help prevent the transmission of STIs.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
