Hey guys, I have a quick question.

I ended up throwing up about two hours after I took my pill this Thursday night. After I stopped being sick, I took another pill of the same dose (I'm on Tri Cyclen if that matters). Seeing as I am allgeric to latex, me and my boyfriend had sex as usual, without a condom today. I know that techincally I should've used back up for 7 days of taking the pills correctly, but what I am asking is, is taking a pill of the same dose, after throwing up going to affect me in a negative way? Or is it better to have had the extra pill as just in case the one before wasn't fully digested.

Thanks for your help!

I'm not short a pill in my pack, I just took an extra pill from an upopened back of the same dose :)

This should mean that my start day stays the same no?

Just an update!

My period has arrived, on time as usual :)

Which makes me very happy, thank you all for your reassurance along the way.
