A member asked:
Out in the sun all day and over heating. 6-7 hours after i took loestrin 24 fe, i had one instance of diarrhea. will that affect my birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect: Overheating followed by diarrhea is concerning for dehydration, but effectiveness of your pill should not be an issue in someone who is very conscientious about taking the pill regularly.
