okay, i vomited when i was on my 7 day pill break - do you think i will be protected when i start back on again - there is nothing in the leaflet about it - only if it was durin my 21 day pill taking.

    yeah, that's what i thought - is only that hormones must be in my body to protect me durin my seven day break, was just worried that i might have lost them or...whatever....

    if in doubt, condoms for 7 days. otherwise you'll be doing a whole load more vomiting.


    for the record, i would say you'll be fine, you can't interfere with absorption if there's no pill to absorb, but i don't want you knocking on my door in 9 months time :p

    I'd suggest ringing the fpa helpline - they'll be able to clear up the confusion:
    Family Planning Association
    Information service on family planning and all aspects of sexual health.
    Helpline: 0845 3101334
    www.fpa.org.uk

    But, as Kaffrin said, if you can't do this, use condoms for seven pill-taking days just to be sure.
