Birth Control and Diarrhea?

Hi there!

I know that when you have diarrhea you should use backup, but here's my question: I have mild IBS so almost everyday I will have one bowel movement that is a little abnormal..usually the stool shape is thinner or flatter but it is never full blown diarrhea. The stool is still formed, just not ideally formed. Does this mean I should use backup? I don't have diarrhea everyday, just variations in stool shape. Would this affect my pill that was already absorbed almost 12 hours ago?

Thanks!!
