A member asked:

Does it matter if i vomit on my seven day break of birth control pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Humm: If you throw up within an hour of taking a birth control pill you run the risk of breakthrough effect of birth control. My advice if you do not want to be pregnant is to be abstinent until your next period or have him use condoms.
