How long does it take for the birth control pill to be absorbed?if you vomit half an hour after taking pill, was it absorbed? definitive answer please

It is absorbed quick: But in the small intestine, not the stomach. When we are nauseus the stomach develops antiperistaltic waves that propel your jiuces backwards. In short, assume you skipped a pill and use protection this month.
