What is the failure rate of bc if i possibly missed 1 pill? i threw up 3-4 hours after taking the pill.i was told it could be a possible "missed" pill

Middle pill: If you threw up 3-4 hours after taking the pill it was most likely in your system and should be 95-99% effective

Low, but can do test: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly. One can test about 3 weeks after sex (when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. An Ob-Gyn doctor can evaluate any persistent or worrisome symptoms.
