[|Human|] Hi, I have a question about emergency contraception. I am currently on the birth control pill Junel Fe and take it fairly consistently (between 12-4) everyday. Unfortunately I was sick this weekend with a stomach bug and threw up once on Friday and once on Saturday. Although I threw up more than a few hours after taking the pill I am worried about the pills effectiveness because while having intercourse last night the condom broke. I am reluctant to take an emergency contraceptive but was wondering if one would be necessary.
[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. My understanding is if you have vomited out your pill within 2 hours of intake, you should have taken another at that time. If it is more than 2 hrs, that need not be done. However, as you are on regular birth control pills and the condom ruptured, I need to know what day of your cycle it was (the first day of your current menstrual cycle should be considered as day1). I also need to know whether you have regular cycles and what the duration is for a cycle. If you are in the unsafe period, or you have irregular cycles, and you had vomited out the pill within 2 hours of intake you need to opt emergency contraception. More so, because, women on contraceptive pills are more prone to have ectopic pregnancy, if they at all become pregnant and that ectopic pregnancy is an emergency and can be fatal as well. Hope you are satisfied with my answer. If you think I have satisfactorily resolved your query, please rate my answer. In case you have any further query, you can directly ask me questions @ http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.  I will try my level best to help you.
