Hello doctor,
I started the combined pill 12 days ago. I vomited on the 6th day after 14 hours of taking medicine. I also vomited on the 9th day after 12 hours of taking the pill. Am I still protected?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Yes, still you are protected,
1)If you vomit more than two hours after taking your pill, you are always protected from pregnancy.
2) If you vomit within two hours of taking your pill, take another medicine right away.
3)If you do not take a replacement pill within three hours of your normal time, use a backup method for the next 48 hours.
