A member asked:
I am 2 days away from my placebo pills and i had diarrhea yesterday. should i use a backup method or skip placebo pills and take active pills?

Back up: Continuing with active pills after giving yourself extradays for the diarrheal illness to subside, would be a better strategy. This means, you shoukd emoloy back up method to avoid chances of pregnancy during the interim. Good luck:)
