Question
Hi, So i went camping for thanksgiving weekend, and i left my birth control at home. I took two pills when i got home to make up for the ones i didn't take over the weekend, and another at my usual time 1030pm. I ended up throwing up, in the middle of the night. WHAT HAPPENED?

Answer
I read an article that said if you missed 3 pills, you would have to start a new pack and just throw away that one and start over. That would be if the pills you missed were active pills and not the sugar pill week. I don't recommend hormonal birth control methods. How long have you been on the pill and have you had any symptoms or side effects? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
