writes:[Moderator's Note: OP's own title]ok. so. i just ended my period this last sunday. me and my boyfriend had sex, and i was supposed to start a pack of birthcontrol that night. i didn't have the pack tho and i had to wait until monday to get it. i got the pack at around six on monday evening and took the pill i missed for sunday. then at around eleven pm, i took the pill for monday as well. two pills in one day to catch up with the first one i missed sunday.now it's four in the morning and i got really sick and threw up five hours after taking the second pill. should i use further protection? me and my bf usually use the pill and the 'pull out' method either way. did i keep the pills down long enough to be effective? thanks for the help.

 Did you take your pill more than 3 hours before you were sick? Because it's normally about 3 hours. Although I'd use a condom as well for the next week just to be on the safe side.Also if you should have started the pack that night but didn't until the next morning, then if your pill was more than 12 hours late then there is a teeny weeny chance of pregnancy (although highly unlikely as you'd just finished your period.)

 I'm not sure about all pills but I do know mine has to be in my system at least 2 hours, after that is fine, there should be information in your leaflet within your pack that tells you how long your pill has to be in your system but I would still go about getting the morning after pill for the fact you missed your pill on the Sunday night and it wasn't then taken within the 12 hours therefore theres a good chance you wasn't and are now not protected for 7-14 days depending on the pill you use.
