A member asked:
Defecated an hour after taking birth control pill do i still need to retake the pill? the stool was not loose but i had detox tea 7 hrs prior
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't think so: Your pill is absorbed in the upper digestive tract. The normal transit time (time from your mouth to poop) is 3-4 days in adults with normal bowel movements. Unless you had the galloping runs you didn't loose the pill just by pooping an hour after taking it.
