Vomiting, Lower Back And Abdominal Pain. Had Unprotected Sex. Taken Birth Control. Am I Pregnant?
Friday night. My boyfriend and I went to a party. I got lost in the drinks and vomited. When we got back from the party. We had unprotected sex and i dont know if he pulled out. Then went to sleep. When we woke up I took my next birth control in time and I didn't forget the pill the day before. We had sex again. This time like normal I know he pulled out. Later that day. Probably 5 hrs later. I threw up again. I've been having lower an pains. I don't know what it is. But it makes me wonder if I'm pregnant

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Chances of pregnancy may be there in your case because you have unprotected sex. You had your pills on time but there is vomiting, so may be effect of your pills may be decreased, so you should use some other protection with pills.
You should consult a gynecologist to rule out pregnancy with urine, blood test and ultrasonography.
GOOD LUCK.
Take care.

Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.
Effective use of birth control has a close to 99% success
rate in preventing pregnancy. Alcohol does not decrease
the effectiveness of the pill, it is rather slowly metabolised
due to the pills and a female on pills would become drunk
easily when on pills.
It is less likely that you could be pregnant therefore. The
repeated vomiting is due to peptic ulcer disease due to
the alcohol. You should get some antacids and get some
food.
Most importantly, do continue your birth control regularly.
You might consider doing a pregnancy test but that will only
accurate if you do it after missing your period.
Hope this helps you.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
