I take my birth control pill everyday at 9PM.
The next day, around 9AM, I had an episode of diarrhea. The stool wasn't quite liquidy but a lot came out fast (it was somewhat formed).
Three hours later I had another mild episode of diarrhea.
Would these two episodes have affected my birth control pill's effectiveness? I called numerous pharmacists and they said it wouldn't but I want to get your guys' opinions...

you probably did not could desire to take the 2d pill. The BC enters your blood flow as quickly as digested. It doesnt take a seat on your abdomen. So, inspite of the diarrhea, you nevertheless technically took your BC pill. additionally, DST does not regulate the outcomes of the pill. one hour won't remember. What could remember could be in case you took the pill at 9PM sooner or later and then at 9AM the next day, you could desire to save it in the same a million-3 hour time span. usual you tak the pill. i don't recommend getting PlanB. you likely do not want it for the reason which you're on BC. in basic terms use a condom the subsequent time you get in a topic which contain this and you'd be effective.
