Diarrhoea and bcp

[kudfc6f5duxc]

Hi i took my pill then had loose stools soon after, but not massively watery at all. A few hours later this happened twice again, this time quite bait more watery. It has now stopped. I understand that diarrhoea is 6 severe watery stools in 24 hrs. Since I do not have this, can i assume my bcp is absorbed?> or is this a substantial risk for which i need condoms? sorry for the tmi, have seen conflicting answers on the net, and thanks!

sorry, my leaflet says take another one if you have 'very bad diahhrea' i dont know what constitutes very bad?

Medically speaking, diarrhea is a pattern of very loose stools over several days. A slightly loose stool or two is not that.

That said, given your posting history, that's chock full of worries about using your pill alone, I think backing up with condoms as a constant -- as in, you always use the pill and condoms -- is a change that would benefit you regardless. It's cheap, it's easy, it also gives you protection against infections, and it allows your partner to share responsibility. So many pros.

thank you!!!! so to clarify, whilst using condoms isnt neccessarry in this case, it would benefit me mentally?

If you do what I just did and take a look at your post history, I think you'll find it equally obvious.
