Inserting birth control pill vaginally

I had a trip to the gynecologist today and he told me that if a women has a very upset stomach or is vomiting and on the birth control (I.e. there is a chance that she might be vomiting it out etc.) then there is an option for women to take it vaginally....

(He didn't recommend it for every time though)

I just found it interesting and was wondering if anyone had ever heard of this before and it if worked for them? I haven't.

I havent heard about this at all. I would really ask some other doctors about this subject as well. That seem risky as well as questionable in many ways.

if your sick there is a chance it could not work but I don't think you can take the pill that way they are for oral use only

I've never heard of it
but it would make sense
because if a woman on it has diahreah or throws up within 4 hours of taking it
it wont be absorbed, and therefore wont protect against pregnancy
but as the first person said, it would be a good idea to get some other opnions from a few other doctors/gynacologists

I've heard of it but somtimes it can cause infections. I've never tried but my mom did. She was in the ER for 3 days.
