Pregnancy And Antibiotics Posted: 09-24-03 20:29pm
I am on the birth control pill and just
recently got back from my honey moon. I
just started taking antibiotics when I
returned but when I did, did not have
intercourse. I am 2 days late now with my
period. I was wondering if antibiotics
could cause me not to get my preiod. When
should I start panicking?

It really depends on what kind of
antibiotics they are, antibiotics take
away the effects of the contraceptive pill
so just remember while taking them that
you are not protected, but seeings as you
didn't have intercourse during that time
you won't be needing to worry about
pregnancy. As for whether or not it can
delay your period, like I said, it depends
on what kind of antibiotic it is, have a
read of the instructions that came with
the pack, if you are still unsure you will
need to ask your doctor if you still
haven't got your period in the next few
days.
