I'm really worried about how my friend took the unwanted kit. On the first day, she vomited it out, and on the second day, she only managed to take one pill while spitting the other one out. Now, she's not sure if she should restart the course or just continue to the third day. Plus, there's been no bleeding so far. What should she do?
no problem u continue
