I threw up a little over 5 hours after taking my combination birth control pill. would 5 hours have been enough time for it to have fully absorbed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely, yes: Five hours on an empty stomach will certainly lead to pill absorption.

I started my period a little over a week early. I am on birth control and do not miss a pill. Usually I cramp, but this time I didn't. What's wrong?
I got my "period" on time, was brown discharge followed by only a little pinkish blood when I wiped. For a day only. On birth control, never miss pill?
