I need a quick answer please!! I took a laxative because I have trouble having bowel movements, but I still need to take my birth control pill.

It is recommended to still take the contraceptive pill even if you have experienced diarrhea after taking a laxative. While diarrhea can potentially impact the absorption of the pill in the intestines, the chances of the contraceptive effect being significantly decreased are low. It is better to take the pill in this situation rather than skipping it. If you have any further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out for more information.
