A member asked:

Can i get pregnant if i forget to take my pill then take 2 the next day, but then vomit that day i took 2 pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The effect of birth control pills depends on a steady level of the medication in your blood. If you have not taken them for a day and then vomit (effectively not taken them now for 2 days) their effectiveness is much decreased.
