(WARNING: gross) I took my contraceptive pill at midnight, and the next morning I puked something bitter?

Question

Here is my story. I had a lot of alcohol last night, and right after that I took my pill and went to sleep at midnight. I think I was nauseous throughout the night, especially in the morning. At around 8:30am I puked something yellow and bitter, and I assumed it was the pill that I took last night (which was yellow) especially since I didn't consume ANYTHING else during the night or in the morning.

So what else could it have been, I puked out the pill after 8 hours after taking it, right? So it was in my stomach all night for over 8 hours? For how long should I refrain from having s*x?

Answer 1

Depends on the pill type. Read the package insert and follow the directions for missing a pill. Since you think you puked it up, then basically its like you didn't take it anyway.

Answer 2

those pills can do that to you.

the same thing happened to my friend

although she puked for like the whole

day straight.

Answer 3

Yellow and bitter sounds more like bile, having not eatten anything probably would have caused your body to puke up your bile, as you didn't have anything in your stomach. Basically I'd say the puking was caused by the drinking and the yellowish matter was bile, which isn't dangerous or anything to your health.

As for how long you should refrain from having s*x? Until you've made sure you've taken the pill when you're not drinking and you read the directions?

Answer 4

Sounds like you vomited bile, not the pill. You drank a lot and then did not eat.

Answer 5

until you get married.

Answer 6

There should be instructions with the pack which tells you what do to if you miss a pill. (You have effectively missed a pill).

You probably need to use other contraception for the rest of your current cycle. (But as I said: - read the leaflet that comes with your brand).
