A member asked:
I vomited 15min after taking my bc.i took another pill in my "spare" pack to make up for the one i assumed i threw up. was this the right thing to do?

Well... maybe: Most of the pills in your pack are dummy pills. Only a few pills in the month are the important ones. If you took the pill from the same day in the spare pack you are probably ok.
