A member asked:

I had diarrhea for 2 consecutive days while on bcp and had sex a day after. whats my possibility of getting pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ronald Krauser answered

See details: Diarrhea has nothing to do with it. If you remained on oral contraceptives the chance of pregnancy is almost zero.
