It is better to take I pill to prevent pregnancy up to 72hrs after sex.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your healthcare.
I have gone through your history and understood your concern
As you took one combined oral contraceptive pill and had loose stool after 15mins,it's effectiveness decrease.
As you used pulled out method which is not safe enough to prevent pregnancy.
So it is better to go for I pill to prevent pregnancy up to 72hrs after unprotected sex ( though the chances are very low in your case)
Hope you find it useful,feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards
