I am on lo loestrin fe , and had diarrhea approx 10 days ago. It lasted less than 24hours, but I had one or two episodes within a few hours of taking my pill . I take the pill at the exact same time every day. I am worrying myself into a state... What is the likelihood that such an episode would interrupt the effectiveness of my birth control?
Welcome to ChatDoctorGreetings of the presence of diarrhea will not affect the efficacy of birth control pill. The pill would have been absorbed in sufficient quantity before getting passed in stools. I hope it helpedTake disregards Chat Doctor.
