Your birth control pills are not affected by your loose stools. Even if you did have diarrhea, there would be no reason to be taking additional birth control pills as back up methods-- so if you are taking extra pills simply because you are having loose stools then you are taking too many pills. If you have extreme diarrhea where you can't keep anything down, then you may want to consider a back up method such as a condom-- but you wouldn't self medicate by over-dosing. An occassional loose stool is not considered diarrhea.
