Hi, I have a question about birth control.
I have been on Gedarel, and today is only my second day in the new cycle. I take my pill at around 12pm every day.
However last night I was sick at 3am, and didn't stop being sick until 7am (exam stress), so I didn't take a catch up pill until 11am - as I wanted to be absolutely sure that I wouldn't throw it up and have to keep taking new ones.
So I took a catch up at 11am, and then my normal one at 12pm. I know you are meant to take your catch up pill as soon after you are sick, but I was sick all night and did not get the chance until this morning.
My question is, could my pill have been compromised last night? If I was sick at 3am and couldn't get a catch up pill until 11am, is that too much lapsed for the pill to be effective? I haven't had sex in this cycle, but I am worried about this month incase the whole cycle is compromised!
Thank you!
