To @Eureka:

Unless you experience vomiting and diarrhea, the amount of food you eat does not affect the effectiveness of the hormonal contraception you are using. We wrote about whether eating and drinking affect the effectiveness of birth control pills in the article:

Proper performance of the test will allow you to rule out or confirm a possible pregnancy. If you do not continue to take Elin after this sex, it may have affected your pregnancy. We wrote about how to properly perform a pregnancy test in the article:

Depending on the result, you should consult a gynaecologist (positive result) or internist (negative result and further persistence of symptoms). You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

Malaise and nausea can result, for example, from pregnancy, infections, stress. A doctor can try to determine the cause. Additional diagnostic tests may be necessary for this.

CY: If I go on vacation abroad and I eat more than usual, I eat almost all day, does this reduce the effectiveness of the pills?

After I forgot to take the pill I didn't continue it, I got my period after about 3-4 days, after my period I don't continue contraception, it's been a week since my period, I have nausea, lower abdomen and back pain. Is it because I don't take pills? What could be the cause?

To @Agula:

In this situation, the effectiveness of contraception may have been reduced, especially if the delay in taking the pills was more than 24 hours. You should take the missed tablets as soon as possible (even 2 at a time) and take the next ones at the usual time. For the next 7 days, you should use an additional method of protection against pregnancy (e.g. a condom).

If conception has occurred, continuing to take the pills will not harm the baby, but it is worth consulting a doctor to discuss further proceedings.

Should I continue taking the pills? What if fertilization has occurred, it does not want to harm the baby

To @Agula:

Contraceptive pills are designed to inhibit ovulation, so there are no fertile days during their use. Skipping them, especially in the first week of the cycle, reduces protection against pregnancy and increases the risk of normal ovulation.

I didn't take the pill on Friday, and I took it on Saturday and I didn't take it on Sunday, only on Monday evening, I don't know how fertile days work in the case of contraception, there probably aren't any, but according to the calendar I have fertile days if I didn't take contraception, and the next day after intercourse is ovulation, it exists when you take pills?
