I took my birthcontrol pill at 8:05 am i had to defecate used the restroom at 11 am will i be protected against pregnancy since it was 2 hours after my birthcontrol pill was taken ?

Likely yes: Your pill is/was absorbed in the upper digestive tract starting about a half hour after ingestion. What you poop 2 hrs after you took it is likely debris from food ingested 2-4 days ago. (the normal transit time) If you had galloping diarrhea where things run right through you the transit time might be a few hours & nothing absorbed. This you would know.
