What Are the Effects of Diahrea On Birth Control ? Posted: 09-11-07 10:53am
yea, gross question sorry..I keep trying
to search the net but I'm getting unclear
answers...Some say that diahrea has no
effect some say it can reduce the
effectiveness..I haven't been sick and i'm
not on any antibiotics, just for 2 days or
so my stomach was upset(my boyfriends
too..probably due to something we ate) and
I had diahrea, is this going to decrease
the pills effectiveness? I have had
unprotected sex recently. The diahrea
didn't occur until later in the
afternoon/night way after the pill had
been in my system for a few hours
also...so, any comments are welcomed
because I can't help but freak out. I
usually try and use VCF film as well but
havent lately..so am I just freaking out
for nothing?

As long as the diarrhea/puking happens
about 6 hours after taking the pill, you
are fine. It may be less than that, 4-5
hours. I don't remember exactly.

Right-
but even if you miss one whole pill, you
should still be protected. So I wouldn't
worry too much.

ok thanks guys, it was just for 2 days or
so, and only 2-3 times..maybe tmi..sorry,
but I was kinda worried about it, i'm
pretty sure it was a few hours after I had
taken my pill so I should have had time to
absorb it

If you're ever concerned, condoms are an
easy solution.
