Good morning, I take the VibinMini contraceptive pill at the same time every day. Yesterday I took it at 7:30 p.m. (as always) but around 9:50 p.m. I developed diarrhea. Today I had unprotected intercourse, but my partner didn't end up inside me. What is the probability of pregnancy? Do I have anything to worry about? She takes tablets from the 3rd row.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

The effectiveness of hormonal contraception may be impaired by diarrhoea (at least 3 excessively loose stools) within 3-4 hours of taking the pill. This is due to the fact that intestinal transit is significantly accelerated and the possibility of absorption of the tablet is reduced.
The probability of pregnancy in this case is low.
As a preventive measure, 10 days after intercourse, it is worth taking a pregnancy test, which you can buy at the pharmacy. I've included links to websites where you can compare the prices of sample pregnancy tests in online pharmacies and order them with pickup at the pharmacy or home delivery:
