Should The Birth Control Pill Be Taken Again?

Hi, So I have a really strange question haha. So like 2 mins after I took my birth control I burped and regurgitated and something yellow came up so I spit it into the sink and washed it down, after I thought about it I realized it was most likely my birth control pill a little mushy from just being swallowed, so umm what do I do? ha

Hallow Dear,

You have a logical valid issue. If you have regurgitated the pill, or even if there is a suspicion of its throwing out within 30 minutes of ingestion, you should repeat the pill.

You have regurgitated it within two minutes. So you should repeat the pill. Even though the pill is not thrown out, one additional pill will not do any harm; however missing a pill may.

Henceforward, please make sure that you take the pill on full stomach or with a glassful of milk at bedtime. This will prevent vomiting out of the pill.

I hope this helps you.
