I finished my pill (21 day pill) on Wednesday and I had a bout of diarrhoea yesterday only in the morning.
Will I be at risk of pregnancy?
I have tried looking on the net but there is no answer

if you look in the booklet that came with the medicine it will tell you
in mine it says that if you have diarrhoea or vomiting then you should use other protection.
hope you feel better soon xxx

Gastrointestinal upsets
Vomiting within two hours of taking the pill, any repeated vomiting, or severe diarrhoea may well prevent the pill from working. A single vomit more than two hours after taking the pill should not affect it. Follow the rules for forgetting a pill, both during the tummy upset and for seven days afterwards. Then continue to take it normally.

If you have told the name of the bill it would have been easy to answer your question.
In the normal course, if you have vomiting or diarrhea means that you may not have absorbed the pill - Contact your doctor and use extra contraceptive precautions. You may get some menstrual bleeding or spotting if you miss taking your pills. Since you say you have completed the cycle of 21 days of pills, there should not be any fear for you about pregnancy. Diarrhea may not be due to the effect of the pill and it may be for some other reason such as some food poisoning or some infection.
Please wait for 2 days and see the development and see your doctor if diarrhea persists.-

I highly doubt it. You are only at risk if the diarrhea occurred within two hours of taking the pill. Anything after two hours has been long enough for the pill to be absorbed. Also, you were at the end of the pack - I never take the last couple of pills and I'm always ok.

yeah yet you ought to truly be effective to re-hydrate whilst somebody has diarrhea they have a tendency to get dihydrated. drink some gatorade and then take imodium D which stops the diarrhea. sense greater ideal.

You should be ok but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well for additional information to see what they say.
