Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and for being a part of the EmpowHer community.
If you are sure that you threw up the pills, they didn't get into your system, so you're not covered. Birth control only works if it gets into your system. Most birth control packet information suggests using a back-up method for the week until you are back on track with taking your pills for a few days.
Here is an article about missing birth control that may help you determine the best course of action for you:

Here is another one I wrote about the same topic:

Good luck, and hope you have a better experience with your vitamins and pills tomorrow.
