Sorry if this a really paranoid, odd question --

I'm in my third week of active pills and last night, after I took my pill, I coughed and I felt like there was something in my throat but I didn't actually throw up anything. Would this warrant as a missed pill? I do not plan on having sex for the rest of my cycle so would it even matter if I made up the missed pill (was it even missed?)?

Also, I've heard that extending the pill-free interval can cause contraceptive failure. So if this pill were possibly missed and I didn't do anything about it (didn't take an extra pill), would this affect my next cycle?

Thanks so much!!
