Birth control

I took my last active pill of my birth control tonight. Shortly after I took it I threw up. What do I do? Do I just go on with my inactive pills or just start another pack and don't get my period?

Hey Pgreene,

I'd continue as usual however if you threw the pill up the effectiveness may have been... affected. So for at least the next 7 days I would use condoms alongside birth control, or for the full month if you want to be sure.

As general advice, using condoms alongside hormonal birth control is always a great bet because it further reduces the risks of pregnancy but also protects against STIs!
