Question about vomiting and the pill
Find a Conversation

I've read quite a few times that if you vomit or have diarrhea it renders the pill ineffective.
Sunday was the first day of my new pill pack. I took the pill at about 6:15 or 6:30. Then at around 1:30 or so I threw up - I ate something that disagreed with me. I have always assumed that unless it happens right after you take the pill for the day that you are safe. Am I correct in believing this or do I need to worry?
Also (and I apologize if this is gross) but I tend to have my daily bowel movement in the morning (I know, gross topic of conversation but bear with me here, please) ususally about an hour or 2 after I take my pill. How does this affect my pill or does it have to be extreme explosive diarrhea. Again, sorry for this being graphic but now I'm nervous!
Thanks!
