I know that having diahrrea compromises the effectiveness of the pill. I started my first placebo pill Saturday night. I had diahrrea within 2 hours of taking my placebo pill. I know that the placebos have no hormones. Should I be using back-up for the next 7 days, or does it not matter since I'm in my placebo week (the first placebo pill is the one I missed)? Thanks ladies.

Hi estakia, welcome back!

There were no hormones in your placebo pill so you lost nothing in the way of protection from your bout of diarrhea. You should be fine without using back-up. I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for stopping by.
