I threw up after taking my birth control today...do I need backup birth control for the rest of the month?

I know this might sound like a dumb question but I threw up 45 minutes after taking my birth control and I'm just wondering if that means hubs and I need back-up birth control?

  • You should be fine if you don't miss any (other than the one you threw up) and take them regularly. If you're worried, just use a condom for the next few days to be safe. Usually one pill, if you've always taken them regularly before, won't be much of a problem, though.

  • Generally missing ONE pill will NOT cause you to get pregnant. MOST women who "get pregnant on the pill" do so because they were not taking the pill the RIGHT way on a regular basis or because they took a medication that made the pill ineffective
