On birth control. Missed taking pills. Feels sick, vomiting. Is it food poisoning or pregnancy?
Patient: Food poison or pregnant? I am on birth control took last pill of the pack last Saturday, this Sunday I should have started my next pack but I forgot. had sex that day, on the next day (Monday morning) I took my Sunday night pill. and then my Monday night pill at the regular Monday night time. Tuesday (Today) I woke feeling really up sick, threw up and then felt completely normal after. Please tell me this is food poisoning or something Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM,This has most likely happened as you have taken two pills in a day. They are known to cause nausea and vomiting. This is not food poisoning so do not worry. If you are feeling all right now, there is no need to worry. Continue your pills as directed and try not to miss any more pills as it will decrease the contraceptive efficacy. Hope this satisfies your query. Thanks for using HCM.     Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have. Dr Madhuri BagdeConsultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist
