When I started off on birth control, I had the same problem. I started my birth control in January and in February, I was throwing up and dry heaving for two weeks every morning and I was scared that I was pregnant, but I wasn't. It could just be your body trying to adjust to the hormones and if you're close to your period that could be a cause. If you're really worried about it, go to the doctor and get a pregnancy test done, if not just wait. If you don't get your period then it would be cause for alarm.
Just remember that nothing is 100% but if you use a condom with the birth control your chances are closer to 100% than with either of those alone.
Good luck and don't stress, it'll only make you late.

There are many side effects from the pill, if you choose to use this method of contraception, then you should receive an information leaflet about your specific pill. Side effects will vary from pill to pill due to the different levels of hormones that they may contain.
Some common side effects are:
Weight gain
Headaches
Loss of libido (sex drive)
Breast tenderness
Mood changes
Nausea
Spotting between periods
Many of these side effects will subside after a few months as your body adjusts to the pill, although some may not.
More serious side effects:
Sudden breathlessness
Sudden & severe pain in the chest (that may run down to the arm)
Sudden loss of vision or double vision
Severe pain in one of your calves
Jaundice (liver function problems - a symptom that makes your eyes yellow in colour)
These side effects are rare, but if you suffer any one of them, stop taking the pill immediately and go to your doctor or nearest hospital.

Nausea is a side affect of some birth control pills. You could also just be having pms. If all else fails go to the store and buy one of those "things" ya know... Try taking some pepto and see if that helps at all.

You should get off the pill and onto the nuva ring.

Nothing is 100 percent effective, so you might be pregnant
