BCP and bowel movements?

I'm worried about taking the BCP and having a bowel movement or diarrhea afterwards. From what I've read on this board, if you have a diarrhea within two hours after taking the pill, then it is considered a missed pill. Well, what about a regular bm? I know this may be too much info. but there have been times where I've just held it until two hours have passed just to be safe! Does it take two hours for the pill to be absorbed into the system? I'm just worried about this. Thanks for any advice you can give me.
