I took my birth control pill around 10 a.m. today and within 10-15 minutes I had loose stool, not watery diarrhea. Would this mean my pill was not absorbed?

Hey, thanks for the info! I think the upset stomach was more of a side effect from what I had for breakfast as I was feeling a little yucky before having my pill.

Hi Anon,
Thank you for your question.
Diarrhea/ loose stools is not a normal side effect. Please go get checked out by your doctor. Stop taking the pill and use other birth control methods until you and your doctor come up with a plan of action.
As for the absorption here is more information:
