Hello again,
I took the second dose of emergency birth control two hours ago. I know that soon, I will start feeling really, really sick (I felt extremely nauseated after taking the first dose, and vomited.. the nausea only just subsided).
I'm just wondering if it's absolutely necessary that I take my Yasmin pill today, since I'm taking the EC anyway...? If it doesn't make me any sicker, or if taking it would add effectiveness to the EBC, I would gladly take it. But if it's just going to make me sicker without any merits, I'd rather not.
(I know taking anti-nausea medicine would help, but I got sick before the shops opened and have been lying in bed feeling too ill to go out so it's not really an option)
Thank you so much to anyone with advice! xxxxx

I wish I had access to anti-nausea medicine but unfortunately I don't... I did make myself eat with the last pills though so hopefully I won't get it as bad and I'm feeling ok so far.. (and I did take the yasmin to be safe).
Thank you for your reply!

I just took my pill, thank you for your advice!!! I really appreciate it.
