Double Checking

Unread post by aj2234 »

Hey guys, I just wanted to double check if I've done the right thing. I'm pretty sure I have, but I'd just appreciate the confirmation. I had a very watery, loose bowel movement earlier in the day, then again after I took my pill at the normal time. After going to the toilet the second time, I didn't feel the need to go again, so I took another pill to ensure that the diarrhoea (which stems from a digestive issue, but it ebbs and flows) did not impact on the effectiveness of the pill. I took the other one about 4 hours after the normal time.

Should I still be protected against pregnancy because of this?
Thanks.

Hi aj2234,

Since you doubled up, that should mean your protection was not compromised. In the future, it's best to consult your pill directions for what to do if you think the absorption of a pill was compromised.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
