Mini pill worries

[WorriedGiraffe12]

I'm going to sound a complete idiot now but can't seem to find anything online about this.

I started taking my first pack of desogestorel on 11th Feb which was the first day of my period. I'm aware that taking it on the first day of your period covers you for contraception straight away as long as you take it in a 12 hour window. I'm also aware that if you are sick within 2 hours of taking the pill it may not work and if you have multiple episodes of sickness then to use extra protection for 2 days after you have stopped being sick.

My query is about poo (sorry). I know with diarrhoea then you have to use extra precaution for 7 days once you have finished.

However, and this is the part I'm embarrassed about. What about normal poo within 2 hours of taking the pill? I take mine at 7am and for the 3 maybe 4 days my daily poo has been 7.30am. I'm now worried I should have been using back up protection because I've done a poo within 2 hours of taking it and am going to end up pregnant.

Does anyone know if it is just diarrhoea that affects the pill or will a normal poo affect it too?

Pregnancy would be a disaster, I'm too old, too fat and generally not able to have any more children for other health reasons.

Thanks

I'm on the same pill. I'm only on the third packet so the instructions are fairly fresh in my mind.
The leaflet says very severe diarrhoea can affect absorption, so not just 1episode of a bit of diarrhoea. This means the pill has passed through your system very quickly and not properly absorbed. If you have your normal bowel movement, then you're still covered as the tablet is still in your stomach waiting to be absorbed.
