How long does digestion take...?

I have a question about how long it takes for you to digest a pill and for it to get into your system. I'm on tri-previfem (generic for ortho tri-cyclin) and about 30 minutes after I took my Tuesday dark blue pill (3rd week active pills), I got sick and threw up. I didn't have sex until Thursday (after I had taken my next days pill). And now I'm on my inactive pills and I'm getting a dark brown discharge. What is the probability that I am pregnant? What would be the correct thing to do in this situation?

If you throw up a pill or have diarrhea within 2 hours of taking your pill, you need to either use backup protection for the next seven days or take a spare pill as soon as possible.
