So I take my pill at 7:40 each night and about ab hour later (8;30-8:40 give or take) I had diarrhea but it wasn't all all water there was bowel. I called the pharmacist about my specific birth control pill (Mononessa) and she said that diarrhea does not effect pills unless it is severe ( lasting for more than 24 hrs) so why does everyone else on the internet say it does effect it. She told me not to take another pill because it would be ultimately for nothing. I am on my 3rd placebo with no bleed yet I have had sex within the last two weeks.

Hello Cupcake
Thank you for writing.
You asked this question last week and said your doctor isn't concerned. Your diarrhea was not extensive nor super watery. It's really not possible for the pill to lose it's absorption from what happened. Don't believe everything you read on the internet or any stories you read about women saying minor diarrhea caused a pregnancy.
August 30, 2017 - 4:02pmIf you are very worried, a pregnancy test would be accurate by now so you can go ahead and take one. It's just day 3 of your placebos - I think it'll come along in the next day or two. Don't stress. I know that is easier said than done but your risk is minuscule.
Best,
Susan
