Having diarrhea can potentially decrease the effectiveness of your birth control pill if it is a repeated occurrence, such as during a stomach bug or while taking antibiotics. In those cases, the pill may not work as well. It is generally considered that having diarrhea for a day is equivalent to missing a pill for that day.
