Had Diarrhea And On Lo Loestrin Fe, Taking Medication. Will This Interrupt My Birth Control Pill?
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?

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 helped
Take care
