    If you've been taking it with no problems for 7 months and then suddenly get diarrhea, I highly doubt it's the pill. There are many, many reasons for diarrhea, which have nothing to do with the pill. What exactly are you worried about? A bit of diarrhea isn't going to hurt anything.

    No no I meant will the diarrhea cause my pill to not be absorbed 11 hours sorry I should have worded my question a bit better

    Don't worry, it will have absorbed by then, trust me.

    The pill is fully absorbed in about 2-4 hours after digestion, don't worry! 11 hours is plenty of time. If you are ever worried, you could think of adjusting the time you take your pill. Making it before you go to sleep leaves 8 hours of sleep/absorption time :)
