A member asked:
If i took the morning after pill and i threw up 20 minutes later, does the pill still work or is there a chance i may be pregnant?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not working: Throwing up 20 minutes after medication has been taken bears a high likelihood of the medication not working. In case of the morning after pill, a pregnancy test will tell, if the pill was potentially not effective.

Yes...: If you vomited up the pills before you absorbed the progesterone, they won't work. Since you vomited after only 20 minutes, its possible that you didn't get the full effect of the morning after pill. The chance of getting pregnant in any month of unprotected intercourse is about 20-25%. Best wishes!
