Contraceptive and ibs/diarrhea?

Hello!!
I live with constant daily diarrhea and I've been told its ibs. I had this years ago when I was on the contraceptive implant. When coming off the implant I was fine no issues at all, now I'm on the mini pill and I've got the same problems again.
Has anyone noticed diarrhea/ibs a symptom of contraceptive?
Many thanks

I just started a thread about this, started the mini pill 3 weeks ago and have been having mushy stools for 2,5 weeks. (Mostly regular once a day, but have also reacted to dairy i think with the occasional 'poopsplosion, 🫣.). It's driving me nuts! Am very in tune with my body (Thanks, Health Anxiety) so I am like wth???
Hearing about people getting dxed with bowel cancer more and more often doesnt help 🙄

How are you now OP? Did it subside?
