"I started taking the birth control pill 5 days ago and I've been having diarrhea since?"

It is possible to experience diarrhea as a side effect when starting a new contraceptive pill. If this symptom persists for more than 14 days without improvement, it may be advisable to consult with a pharmacist or healthcare provider for possible alternative options. Taking the pill with a meal can sometimes help alleviate this side effect.
