So please reply. Good morning I am writing with a question whether any bowel movement that took place after more than 3-4 hours is not taken into account when taking contraceptive pills. Like now, if I took the pills at 11:02 p.m. and the next day at 7:55 a.m. I had a disposable loose stool, and then at 4:45 p.m. I had a second loose stool, well, it wasn't diarrhea, but it wasn't a normal bowel movement, although I didn't have stomach pain or anything. I often have it, I don't have any diarrhea, but sometimes this stool is looser than it should be. I defecate 3 times a day. Does it matter? It never happened that after these 3-4 hours I had to use the toilet because after an hour of taking the pills I go to sleep. However, for example, about 7-10 I defecate and sometimes it is loose stool, and sometimes normally. Whether it somehow affects the action of the tablets, or any defecation after more than 3-4 hours does not matter. Even if they were looser stools, eg 3 during the day. Did this defecation after 8/9 hours have any meaning or none and I should not analyze so much?
