Threw up! help

I took my BC pill (Yasmin since December) at 7:30 last night. At around 9:40, I threw up cause I haven't been feeling well. Does this effect my pill at all? And if it does, is it just like I missed a pill? I'm a lil worried that this will effect my bc. Any replies would be helpful! thank you.

You might want to use backup contraception for the remainder of the month, just to be safe. Or if you have an extra pack you could double up for the missed day.

Good luck!

Hi gattnd, welcome!

Vomiting within 2 hrs. after taking your pill counts as a missed pill. You are just over the borderline. You should be safe, but back-up (for the next 7 days) never hurts if it would make you feel better. Thanks for stopping by.

Good luck

Thanks Jill and to the other poster (sorry don't remember your name!) I really appreciate it. I will be using back-up just in case, I don't want to worry about one more thing.
