Hi, AmyLei, and welcome to EmpowHer. Thanks so much for your question.
First of all, I'm so sorry about your miscarriage. I'm sure it's been a rough time for you, and you don't need a lot of extra stress right now.
Because you threw up possibly two entire pills, we have to assume that they did not get into your system at all. And many birth control pills say that if you miss two pills, you should use a second form of birth control for the next seven days. So you may have been unprotected during that brief time. Also, you may end up being late on your period -- or not having one -- because of the hormones involved. So don't panic right away if that happens.
Can you tell me what pill you are on? I would be glad to look up more details for you and give you a better idea.
