Today, after swallowing my birth control pill, I threw up all over myself. I then had to search through my puke to find my birth control pill and attempt to re-take it. FML

Hey, Im the OP. It is extremely important that you take the pills in order and you CANNOT skip a pill! If you do your hormones can get all wacky and if youre sexually active, you can get pregnant. You only have a set amount of pills in the pack and they dont give any extras.

As a male, I can't claim I know a whole lot about birth control pills... but is it really that detrimental to the cycle to just grab a new pill?

You didn't think to maybe take the next pill in the pack instead?

I sometimes skip mine. I'm a forgetful person. Never ended up pregnant as a result. I definitely would not dig through my own vomit and then willingly take it again. To me, that's more unsanitary and unhealthy than skipping a pill. If it's really that big of a deal, use a condom or sustain from sex for a few days, it's really not that difficult.

are you sure you're not already pregnant?

You don't have to deep-throat it. Take it with a glass of water and you won't throw up,

In response to a lot of the comments people are making towards OP, I remember when I first started taking the pill I was not sexually active because my doctor recommended to take it a month before becoming sexually active. Also there are many other reasons to take the pill. many people need it to balance out their hormones, regulate their periods, or other medical reasons. Also maybe OP is pursuing someone or is in a relationship already and wants to be prepared, even if the time hasn't come yet. Saying she's lying about being a virgin when there are many variables is kinda rude.

Swallowing is the best type of birth control. ; )

Are you ignorant or just plain stupid? Just take the next pill in the case. All that will happen in the end is that your period will come a day sooner. Common sense.

You aren't meant to do that with some types of pill, due to differing levels of hormone between each pill. Are you ignorant or just plain stupid?

No, actually I am a physician's assistant in an OB-GYN office and I see this shit happen all the time. You take the next pill.

Yeah, doll. You're obviously a newbie when it comes to BC.

Jesus... Why not just take the next pill in the pack? Then at the end of the month you're short one sugar pill... Nbd

Just...why? Read the instructions, and just be cautious for one week. One week! Why put yourself through that?!
