Antibiotics/stress Causing Late Period? Posted: 12-03-05 16:31pm
I really ought to be more educated on this
sort of issue, but I am extremely
paranoid. I am about 3 days late on my
period, and I am regularly fairly regular.
However, I feel that i've been pretty
careful this month. The few times that I
did have sex right after my last period
had ended were all using a condom, and he
withdrew before he finished, or did not
finish at all. I don't think there were
any accidents to the best of my knowledge.
About halfway into the month, I
developed a uti for the first time and
took bactrim and another prescription for
the pain for 3 or 4 days. After the uti
symptoms went away, we had sex once with a
condom and he did not finish. This one
other incident did happen, however, when
he finished on my upper front side. In
the bathroom, I wiped myself off to where
I felt it was all off. I think I was
really tired however, and I seem to
remember wiping myself once more (though
at this point, there wasn't anything
visibly on the paper, but i'm not sure if
there may have been some that was not
detectable?) and folded the paper over and
wiped myself after I had been using the
bathroom. What are the chances that this
got me into trouble? There really
shouldn't have been any contact at all, in
theory, but I don't know if maybe there
was an accident? Again, there really
wasn't anything left on my front side that
last time I wiped, but i'm not sure if the
tiny amount that may have been there could
have caused problems?
I am normally a pretty careful person, but
I can't help but question what is going on
with my late period. I'm not sure of
exactly how probable it is that I am
pregnant. I have been very stressed
lately, but I really am stressed most of
the time anyway! Also, does anyone know
if an antibiotic such as bactrim can
interfere with periods?
Thanks so much for the help, you guys.
Any feedback would be appreciated...I am
really worried.

Well my period is late too, and I don't
remember having sex since my last period
which was a month and a half ago. BUT, I
do remember getting sick and my doctor
giving me BACTRIM! So your post has given
me a feeling that things will be okay for
me. Maybe it's the Bactrim. I heard that
antibiotics can delay your period, and I'm
guessing bactrim is one of them. I
recommend you get a pregnancy test like I
will be doing tomorrow, just in case. The
sooner, the better.

antibiotics can reduce the affect of bc
pills and the shot. i'm pretty sure
that's how i wound up pregnant. i had a
uti, they gave a prescription, and here i
am almost 4 months prego!
