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 don't think the pills are working ?

I don't think your brain is working. OP is a virgin, so unless she is the next virgin Mary, she is not pregnant.

Perhaps a sign? Just sayin.

This is why I'm on Depo-provera. 1 shot every 3 months. Eventually you won't get a period. You can have some spotting until eventually it stops. I'm horrible with pills. At least I can't throw it up and have to dig through my vomit. Maybe you should switch so this doesn't happen again. Sucks you had to do that OP. Depo is the way to go if you can.

well, normally you're supposed to have an extra pack in case you "lose" one. Like an emergency one

Forget the pill! That's disgusting ?

If it was morning sickness, then I suppose the pill hadn't really been doing its job anyway ????

if you read the leaflet for one's like that with no extras it advises to keep a strip separate for spares in case of situations like this, meaning you just have to get your repeat prescription a month earlier one time, I know the leaflets are extremely long and tedious but you've only got to read it once for bits of information like this to stop you eating your own vomit
