My girlfriend starting taking the pill 2weeks ago. We had sex last week and then 3times on the weekend. We were unprotected but I didn't finish inside of her. We just read that the pill comes fully into effect after 3weeks. She had been taking it before as well but missed a day or two a week. She felt a little nauseated today (tuesday) so she took plan b. She's puked 10times tonight. Could she be pregnant? we're both really scared! IIN? Please help!
It's possible, but if she took Plan B, that's probably the cause of the sickness, not pregnancy. Plan B can cause major nausea. Don't take my word for it, though; get a pregnancy test or schedule a doctor's visit and put your minds at ease!
If she's that sick, she might also have food poisoning. That's a lot of puking even with the hormonal disruption of taking Plan B.
Also, why in hell are you not using another form of contraception if she "missed a day or two a week" and hasn't been on the pill a whole month? Not to give you a lecture, but...well, okay, I guess I am going to give a little bit of a lecture. The pill isn't magical. Getting a prescription for it isn't enough. She also has to take it *every day,* preferably at the same time every day, to keep the levels of hormones in her body constant.
Condoms suck, but they suck a lot less than babies.
Have sex three days before, the day of, and three days after ovulation, which usually occurs 14 days after your period. Sperm can last up to five days in the vagina so it makes for better chances. If you do it every day there will be a lower count of sperm in the semen so every other day would be good too. Pregnancy for me is a total approach in both mind and body.

Go take a pregnancy test and next time use your brains. Oh and treat the puking as a reset on the pill, wait another 3 weeks now. Puking isn't a very reliable symptom of pregnancy so take a test then see a doctor and wear a condom for the first month. Don't ever skip a pill and treat puking as a reset (for safety's sake), also try to take it at the same time every day.
Better safe than sorry.
