A member asked:
Think i had a stomach bug, never threwup & little to no diarrhea, had a fever, will this effect my birth control, need for extra protection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you took all your: pills on time and did not vomit, there should be no effects on your birth control efficacy. However, you should be using condoms also, as the birth control pill will not protect you from STD's.
