A member asked:
I threw up 7 hours after taking my birth control then i threw up twice when i woke up the next morning. am i still protected?

Use back up: At the 7 hour mark, you likely already passed the pill low enough in the intestinal tract/absorbed it, so that you unlikely vomited the pill up, but it's not certain. If you are ever concerned about missing a pill then utilize back up contraception to be sure. Remember birth control doesn't protect you against STDs, so still be smart about your sexual health.
