I have been taking antibiotics lately. I
know that they can reduce the
effectiveness in the pill, but can they
also affect my next period? I have never
missed a period on the pill, although some
have been incredibly light, but this week
i have had almost no bleeding at all,
onlly a little on the first day or two,
probably not even enough to wear a tampon.
can it be the antibiotics affecting my
period? i plan on taking a test, I just
want to set my mind at ease a little.

in the same kind of situation, but my
period isn't here yet.

Test came out negative two times. Since
i'm on ths pill I still havent gotten my
period. I'll see when it comes up again.
The pharmacist said that antibiotics
should not affect my period, but if the
time for my period had come and gone and
tests are still saying negative then I am
more than likely not pregnant. Plus I
havent had any nausea or other symptoms.

How old do you have to be to get the pill?

I found that when I took antibiotics the
same thing happened to me. Certain
antibiotics interact differently with the
pill. If you are ever unsure, just talk
to your pharmacist or doctor.

most doctor's won't perscribe it without
parental consent if you are young. But
if you are concerned about telling your
parents, seek advice from your local
health clinic or planned parenthood, they
should be able to help you.

Trust me, sometimes pregnancy test cant
tell if a woman is pregnant even if she
is. So ur best bet is to consult a doc!
My doc told me that pregnancy test might
not detect pregnancy for up to 6 weeks..So
I think u better go see a doc to be sure
