Sorry...when you said "those were the last of the inactive pills", I wasn't sure what "those" you were referring to. You did say that you missed pills in the 3rd week previously.
I understand now, and see the dilemna. You could not have prevented this since you had sex on the 9th, and missed pills AFTER you had sex... and how would you have know you were to get sick and not be able to keep down pills.
Do you know if you were able to keep down any of the pills? Even if they were in your system for 30 minutes, your body could have absorbed some of the hormones in this short of time.
If you are positive that the four consecutive pills you took were immediately vomited out, then you would need to count those as officially "missed" pills, and since you were sick, you weren't able to double-up.
The bleeding you experienced was most likely not your regular "period", since you just had spotting. It was most likely your body's reaction to the abrupt absence of synthetic hormones. Nothing harmful, but you are still worried about pregnancy.
Let me re-read your original statement, and I will respond again in a moment...
